Ralph Lever, of Chorley, flaxman, 1663: Wills at Chester.
1706. Baptised — Jeremiah, son of Clousley Flaxman, and Annavick, his wife: St. Michael, Cornhill.
= Flaxman, q.v.
(English) One who dressed or sold flax.
A dresser of flax, or a spinner. In old authors "flax-wife" signifies a female spinner who is married, probably to distinguish her from the spinster, or maiden of the distaff. The records of Castle Combe shew the existence in that district of a family who in the reign of Edw. III. were called Spondel, most probably a provincialism for "spindle," in allusion to the spinning trade carried on by them. One of the family is described as "Johannem Spoundel dictum Flexmangere," or fiax-monger, and twenty years later this person, or a descendant, is simply described as "Johannes Flexman." See Scrope's Hist, of Castle Combe, reviewed in Quarterly Rev., vol. xcii., p. 291.
