Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census Lookup Please

Having looked through most on the baptism fiches at the Hold seems possible that Henry was baptised when older than we might expect these days.  I seen a family getting baptised on the same day from 0 years to teens.

Maybe they got a good rate as a job lot? :)

Hi Gobbitt,

I'll look into this will as I believe John Balls had no less than 4 windmills in the 1760.  It'll be interesting to see if circumstances changed by 1781.

Same.  I have one windmill in Middleton and one in Middleton cum Fordley.  Millers seem to overlap so I suspect its the same edifice.  Just easier to double enter than untangle later if I find they were two seperate buildings

Joseph Devereux, of Beccles, was a miller between 1807-1854 at a windmill on Pound Lane.

In the Baptism Records (micro fiche) in Ipswich Hold, whilst research Suffolk's miler I came across this  which I thought might be useful ...

“1815 April 4th, No.177
Mary Ann Hardy
James & Sophia HARDY, (m/n Mack), Millwright.”

“1816 June 28th, No.283
Henry Hardy, born: 1816/06/28
James & Sophia HARDY, (m/n Marsh), Millwright.”

“1818 June 9th
George Hardy
James & Sophia HARDY, Millwright.”

“1820 August 26th, No.601
Susannah Hardy, born: 1820/08/13
James & Sophia HARDY, (m/n Mack), Millwright.”

I think might help?

Indeed, there were a whole bunch of Fitshalls, Fitfhalls, Titshals, etc. scattered across Suffolk working both wind and water mills.  All very hard to untangle.
