Jeremiah Mallatratt
 

The surname Mallatratt can be spelt in a variety of ways.

Jeremiah was baptised on 16th November 1769 at St Mary, Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire. He is OH's 3x-great-uncle.

He seemed to get himself in a bit of bother! In 1808 he lost the Haycock Inn at Wansford in a game of cards.

He died in 1845 in Shoreditch. In the 1841 Census he can be found in the County Gaol at St Mary Newington, Surrey.

However, I can't find anything about why he was there. Can anyone else find anything.

On the British Newspaper Archive there is an entry for Jeremiah Malatratt in 1842 - Insolvent Debtors' Court. (Morning Post 31 Mar 1842.)

Thanks, Kate. He was often bailed out by his family.

I've just found this on FMP, thanks.

did he have brothers Charles and Martin - baptised at St Marys and St Benedicts ,Huntingdon ?

Yes, Allan.

Their father was Martin.

Also, Phebe, Mary, Susannah, Elizabeth, Frederick and Hugh. OH's 3x-great-grandmother was Mary.

So I assume you also have details of this: https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/C9316644

Thanks, Phoenix, I've seen it in the catalogue but not the document itself.

JMP
any idea what the JMP stands for underneath Jeremiah Mallaratts name - is it Justice for the Minister of Peace ?

Allan, I think it is Joint Male Plaintiff, but I'll check

Found this:
For female plaintiffs acting without any male plaintiff:

SFP (single female plaintiff), indicating one woman submitting a pleading alone
JFP (joint female plaintiff), indicating more than one woman submitting a pleading, though not groups of women, such as abbesses, representing institutions – these are treated as corporate body plaintiffs (see below)

For group plaintiffs:

CBP (corporate body plaintiff), covering abbeys, colleges, companies and other institutions
UBP (unincorporate body plaintiff), covering churchwardens, overseers of the poor and representatives of tenants or copyholders
