Notes for: John Wallis Flack
From http://www.meldrethhistory.org.uk/page_id__361.aspx:
On 10th March 1810, almost five years after his death, the administration of the estate of John Flack senior, miller, of Meldreth was granted to his son, John Flack, miller, of Meldreth. John's goods and chattels were worth less than £450.
In 1812, John and Elizabeth's daughter, also Elizabeth, married Elias Bland of The Green Man, Trumpington in Holy Trinity Church, Meldreth.
Two years later, John Flack (junior) who had taken over the running of the mill from his father, decided to leave the mill and sold much of his property by auction. The sale included, "household furniture, brewing and dairy utensils, beer casks, two carts, harness implements, two stacks of hay, two young cows forward in calf, a fat hog, ten fine white cock turkeys of a peculiar breed, fowls, ducks and effects". The sale was held on 17th January 1814, with a viewing the previous Saturday. Catalogues were available from "inns in the neighbourhood", at the place of sale and from Thomas Cockett in Royston, Hertfordshire.
Following his departure from Meldreth, John became the landlord of the Half Moon Public House on Trumpington Street, Cambridge. He died in 1849, aged 63 years
