20. John15 Flegg (17. Richard14, John13, James12, William11, John10, John9; William8, Philip1, Philip9, Philip5, Sir John4, Sir John3, Henry2, Algar1), born in Shipdham about 1534, resided in Shipdham until 1570, but his later residence and the time and place of his decease are unknown, and neither a will nor administration on his estate can be found. After 1558, he is termed " junior " to distinguish him from his older own cousin 18. John16 Flegg (born about 1520) who is termed " senior" up to his death in 1581/2, so it seems probable that 20. John15 Flegg " junior " was also living as late as 1581/2.
In June 1570, a fine was levied between Robert Danney, querant, and John16 Flegge, junior, and wife Elizabeth, deforciants of a messuage and twelve acres of land in Shipdham; consideration £40. (Feet of Fines, Norfolk, Trinity, 12 Elizabeth.)
"John Flegg, junior" married first, in Shipdham 1 June 1564, CHRISTIAN CORNELL, who was buried there, 11 Sept. 1566, leaving one child. He married secondly, about 1569, Elizabeth.
