Suffolk / Re: Flack of Lakenheath
« on: Tuesday 27 September 22 18:06 BST (UK) »
I was very interested to read these posts. My grandmother's family are Flack from Lakenheath and my ggg grandmother is Elizabeth Drake (born 1799). The same relationship as mentioned by Kim in the earlier posts. Elizabeth Drake married John Flack in 1822 and my gg grandfather, William Flack, was born in 1828. His sister Sarah (listed as Sally in the census) was born in 1833. I guess my William was the witness at Sarah's wedding mentioned in the posts. I have no later record of Sarah's branch of the family. However, I have earlier details of direct Flack ancestors going back to to John Flack born in 1581 and the Drake family back to James Drake born in 1708. Lakenheath cemetery (on Wings Road) has the graves of many of the family names on my Flack family tree though few are direct ancestors.
