Person:Henry Ingram (9)

Henry Ingram's origins have yet to be established. His first confirmed sighting is in 1662, by which time he was married to a woman called Mary. They had a son and a daughter both baptised on 7th August 1662 at Great Ponton in Lincolnshire. Another daughter followed in 1671. There is a gap in the Great Ponton registers between 1675 and 1686, so it is quite possible that they also had other children. Henry worked as a miller.

Mary died in 1689. Henry appears to have survived her by a while, dying some time between 1689 and March 1695, when an inventory was drawn up in connection with the administration of his estate. The inventory differentiates between items found in his house and in his mill, and also records that he owned two cows and two horses, as well as various items of furniture and utensils. No burial record is listed for Henry at Great Ponton between 1689 and 1695, which may suggest he died elsewhere, although the inventory still describes him as a miller of Great Ponton.
