Notes

That Thomas is the father of Richard and the other children is only a guess. His wife's name comes from the entry for Agnes in 1525 when Richard Hayes paid a fine of 10/- for Agnes Figg and her land, a messuage and land (Road Farm) and land called 'Langfords' which Margaret mother of Agnes held during her lifetime

There is a note in the Winchester Pipe Rolls for 1519 when Thomas Figge paid 4d to build a fulling mill in the waste next to land called Stretchers. The plot to be 24ft x 30ft ??? Philip Brooks adds the following:
There had always been two fulling mills at Stanford. One of them, like other mills, had fallen into decay and was to be replaced by this new mill. The site was above the mill pond of the present corn mill.

There is a submitted entry in the IGI for an undefined event on 4 August 1534 for Thomas Fyge and his wife at Headley (this could be his death).

His death comes from an entry in the Winchester Pipe Rolls for a fine of 13/4 for Richard Figg for a messuage in Stanford, lately of Thomas Figg in 1536.
