Gender Male Note - In the book titled 'Petrockstowe Past and Present' it says:
'We know that two generations of Mallets served the Orfords as Stewards during their time at Heanton Satchville. The Stewards were responsible for the administration of the manor, for maintaining its records and presiding over its courts. There is a tomb in Petrockstowe churchyard, now very faded, but William Mallet's name is just visible. John died in 1847 aged 79. His wife Catherine, aged 46 died in 1810 at this time they were living at Berry, which was probably the Barton (Home Farm).'

'Robert moved to Dublin and was the founder of an Iron Foundry at Ryders Row, Dublin. Having no son of his own, he enlisted the services of his nephew John (Irish Jack), son of James and Ann Lacey, as an apprentice in the business. Irish Jack did not take happily to this life, as we know from one of his letters which I have, and he returned to Devon. On the departure of Irish Jack, another nephew, John, son of Richard, came to assist his uncle'.
