Though I take breaks, I persist in my hunt for the Scottish MILLAGANs who settled, with quite a lot of other expat drapers, chapmen & lacemen, in north Bucks c1680-1720. Recently, I found a fascinating snippet in Records of Bucks concerning Ann MILLAGAN, widow of linen draper David MILLAGAN of Newton Longville, which has raised a question I hope people can answer for me: The Rev COLE of Bletchley recorded in his diary: "1766. Mrs. Meligan buried at Newton on 20 Nov. She died in Clerkenwell Workhouse and was brought down to be buried by her first husband. Her second husband is a baronet by the name of Yeomans as Mr. Cartwright assures me, but using her ill and having no estate she would never go by his name. I have heard Mr. Thomas Willis and others say that when she kept a good shop in this town, his mother Mr. Browne Willis' wife, used to pawn her clothes to her and borrow money of her at an exhorbitant use. She was a tall strapping woman and several times within this six or seven years used to walk on foot from London to Bletchley in a day. She was between 80 and 90 at her death."Cited in Records of Bucks Vol 11 pt1 1919 W Bradbrook - Newton Longville Parish Books p124
