| 402 | IGI records children (and bapt) Anne 13/12/1726 Mary 30/6/1728 (?buried 10/4/1737) Robert 1/1/1730 Thomas 12/11/1732 Joane 26/1/1734 Jane 17/4/1737 (d or buried? 2/8/1738) A number of possibilities on death... burials in 1732 (unlikely if Jane and Joane are both his), 1773, 1787, 1788. Likewise there are further marriages in 1743,1748, 1749, 1757. The only other Daniel between 1700 and 1740 in South Tawton was born 1722 | JACKMAN, Daniel (I710)

| 404 | In 1891 he appears to be in Stockport, at the "Industrial School for Boys", as an "inmate". The school appears to be one of a number set up as places of detention. It is interesting to note another child from Gravesend, Thomas Brown, so it is possible that the 2 were sentenced at the same time. The following comes from http://www.childrenshomes.org.uk/StockportBoysIS ******************* The Stockport Industrial School for Boys, originally known as the Stockport Ragged and Industrial School, was founded in 1854. Its premises, formerly the vicarage for St Thomas' Church, were known as Townend House and located at 48 Higher Hillgate, Stockport, between Marriott Street and Holt Street. The School had both day attenders and also residential places. In the early 1860s, Mr and Mrs Jackson were appointed as superintendent and matron. The main industrial occupations for boys at the School were paper-bag making, printing, hair-teasing and tailoring. The girls were employed in needlework and housework. The School building was considerably extended in 1865-66 with the assistance of a £700 donation from the Marquis of Westminster. On March 7th, 1866, the establishment was certified as an Industrial School, allowing it to receive up to 150 boys including those sentenced by the courts to a period of detention. Further additions were made to the building in 1968-69. Following the departure of the Jacksons in June, 1869, to take charge of the Farningham Home for Little Boys, Mr Donald Ross of the Rothesay Industrial School was appointed superintendent, with his wife as matron. The staff at that time also included an assistant master and matron, an industrial assistant, a tailor and shoemaker. In 1871, Mr Ross moved to the Barnes Home, near Manchester, and was replaced by Mr Williams, previously schoolmaster on the Akbar. Mr Williams' health gave way, however, and he was succeeded by Mr Shaw, formerly connected with the York Industrial School. In 1873, another change took place, with Mr and Miss Reith taking charge of the establishment. This was another short-lived appointment and the following year, Mr Reith transferred to the Edinburgh Original Industrial School. He was replaced by Mr Alfred R. Williams from the Middlesex Industrial School at Feltham, with his wife Louisa as matron. In January, 1877, after continuing problems in maintaining separation between the boys' and girls' sections of the School, the girls were transferred to separate premises in another part of Stockport. A new regime was then introduced into the boys' establishment, dividing the inmates into different classes according to their conduct, and with privileges and rewards attached to the upper classes. By 1879, some of the boys were being trained in hat-case manufacture. One group of works repaired shirting and clothing under the direction of a seamstress. A band had also been started at the School. Mr Williams left the School in 1882, moving to the Cumberland County Industrial School at Cockermouth. Mr and Mrs J.A. Johnstone were then appointed as superintendent and matron. The change was followed by an increase in offences and punishments for matters such as lying, impudence, disobedience and neglect of duty, with four boys absconding during 1883. An inquiry took place after a boy was sent to his parents in a dying state and died shortly after his discharge. Charges of neglect and improper treatment were raised but were decided to be unfounded, although it was judges that the boy in question was medically unfit and should not have been received into the School in the first place. Another change of staff took place at the end of 1884, with Mr MacPherson of Inverness succeeding Mr Johnstone as superintendent. In 1887, 15 boys were working out in the town as full-timers and 47 as half-timers in various occupations as follows: 24 hatters, 23 errand boys, 4 bottlers, 3 gardeners. 3 dyers, 1 stable boy, 1 grocer, 1 ironmonger's boy, 1 employed by a surveyor and 1 by a doctor. Of the others, 13 were learning tailoring in the School workshops, 21 shoemaking, 8 printers, 10 employed in the house, 18 in the sewing room, and 1 attending to the steam boiler. In 1890, Mrs and Mrs W.J. Leach took over as superintendent and matron. The following year, an issue arose as to the religious provision in the School, with Church of England inmates demanding 'definite and distinctive religious training and education'. The School's managers objected to this imposition and decided that henceforth they would receive only Protestant and not Church of England children. The most common disciplinary offences at this time were loitering in the streets, stealing from shops in the town, and smoking. Following increasing complaints by the School's official inspector about the declining state of the premises, it was reported in 1894 that a site had been procured on the outskirts of the town for a new building to be erected. In 1896, while still at the old site, a sergeant attended once a week to drill the boys. The boys were now attending the local public swimming baths. The school band occasionally performed for temperance societies and Sunday school fêtes. The School library had only about 50 books, mostly rather ancient, but the Boys' Own Paper, Chums etc. were taken and the boys were keen readers of the sports section of the Evening News. Occasional magic lantern shows were given during the winter, and every summer there was a day trip to the seaside and another to Torkington where the boys had a row on the water. The Mayor of Stockport put on an annual dinner for the boys, followed by an entertainment. ********************** After this things are not clear. There is a possible marriage in 1902 (LITTLEWOOD), but the change of name seems unlikely. There are other Littlemores in Cheshire, so perhaps he stayed there. | LITTLEMORE, James W (I948)
|
| 405 | In 1901, Frank was living with his mother and brother at "Dymonds" in the village, next to the Post Office. The Western Times of 23/2/1906 has the sale of these houses. Dymonds is described as having a "saddlers shop, Dining Room, Sitting Room, Kitchen, 3 bedroom, productive gardens, w.c and sheds", currently occupied by Frank. His mother and brother having died. However it is not clear where he moved to as the 1911 Census just says Bow Village Frank died the same day as nephew Albert. Frank's probate was completed May 1919, presumably partly because of WW1, and he left £30 to John Jackman, retired saddler | JACKMAN, Frank (I763)
|
| 406 | In a report from 1868, detailing a reconciliation of parliamentary voters, Joseph Hull is removed from the electoral roll for Fleet St. The most likely explanation (given that he was still alive), is that he was also registered at another property. | HULL, Joseph (I1049)
|
| 407 | In addition to Emma, there is another child who had died at the 1911 Census. There does not appear to be any obvious records in BMD or London baptisms. Restricting the birth and death to Lambeth give Dora Gladys b1904 Benjamin Joseph (given as HAMP) b1905 Alternatively looking at birth registrations with a mother maiden name of WELTON, with soundex switched on, anywhere in the country does not identify another child. I believe that the mother maiden name is unreliable before 1911, though it clearly picks up the other 4 children, so this might be a reason. It might be a mistake, but this seems unlikely. It might have been a stillborn, and not registered, but still something of importance to the parents of course. | Family: Charles Henry IMPEY / Emma Laughton WELTON (F192)
|
| 408 | In addition to Marian, the following were born to James SKYNNER in Chittlehampton in the relevant period according to IGI William (1655) Phillipp (22/11/1658) Arthur (1/12/1661) Jane (22/5/1664) My parents have a note to say James married Cecelly NOURLL 27/12/1660 at Paignton. Possible, but is maybe unlikely given Marian was born in Chittlehampton, the birth of Philipp (if it is his son) and the distance from Chittlehampton to Paignton - there appear to be a number of Skynners there, and it is probably a different branch. | SKYNNER, James (I646)
|
| 409 | In addition to the anomalies in the marriage info, it is only after the marriage that we see her as Louisa Ann, and her date of birth becomes about 10 years later. However, there is no obvious record of a Louisa Ann Desborough born about 1846/7 - to match the post marriage information, so on balance it is concluded that this story is correct. | DESBOROUGH, Louisa (I252)
|
| 410 | In common with her father, she appears as DELF in the 1841-61 Censuses Mary Ann has a child, Henry Richard Splatt DELF, born Kenton 10/5/1854 and baptised privately 11/5/1854, who appears in the 1861 Census as George and Jemima's son, aged 6 | DEAL, Mary Ann (I835)
|
| 411 | In Dec 1877, he is on the list of Fitters, working at Brighton Station for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, at 4s per day, which is less than most other fitters, albeit that he was one of the youngest. He is doing the same job in Dec 1891, but now very much a median salary of 6s 2d per day. The burial date is actually the death date from the transcript on findagrave.com. But the death info is quite definite, it may be that there is a transcript error. | VEY, Henry Edward (I1059)
|
| 412 | In her will she left £252 to Alfred PENNIKET. | PENNIKET, Rosa Maria (I891)
|
| 413 | In his later life, he is "Joseph Edward".... for instance, at the birth of EJV Desborough, Edward named himself "Joseph", occupation General Hawker. At EJV Desborough's marriage he named himself "Edward Joseph", occupation Halter Maker. At his wife's death he named himself "Joseph Edward", occupation Ropemaker. He appears in the London Electoral rolls at 1890, 91, 93 at 82, LorrimoreRoad, and in 1896, 7, 9, 1900 at 28, Olney St. At the 1901 Electoral Roll at 28, Olney St. is Edward John Besborough (presumably EJVD), so we can assume that JED had died. What I am unsure about is when the roll was taken, if it was Oct time, then this does not match the presumed death date.... | DESBOROUGH, Edward Joseph (I268)
|
| 414 | In May 1904, she passed the preparatory level (Trinity College exams) in practical music. The instrument is not given, but the article implies that this was the piano. I have not found any later exams, though it would seem that she passed higher levels in later years Iva married David WJ ANDREWS (Corporal RAMC at the time) at Wesley Church, Arundel St, Portsmouth on 6th Sep 1916 (Jul qtr 1916 vol 2b, p1114). At the 1921 Census, she is with David at the Leicester Frith "Home of Recovery". David is the medical superintendent, but their daughter aged 1 was born in Southsea, so they had obviously recently moved. | JUNIPER, Iva Maude (I920)
|
| 415 | In the 1885 Post Office Directory he is a cornchandler - essentially a corn dealer ("corn" in this instance appears to mean any sort of grain, not just maize) | PENNIKET, George Frederick (I805)
|
| 416 | In the 1921 Census, he is employed by V.A. Lawson(?) A.M.I.C.E., 17, Rowcroft, Stroud He appears in the Electoral Roll at "The Elms", Dudbridge Hill, Stroud between Autumn 1921 and Autumn 1923, and thus a different location to the 1921 Census. In the 1926 Electoral Register he is at "Isca", Draycott Avenue, Kenton, Harrow. Elsie is not listed. He is there in 1927 and 1928 (No 41), and Elsie is now with him. In the 1929 Electoral Register he is at "Isca", Woodmansterne Road, Coulsdon. In the 1934 Register, by looking at the numbers you can see that this is No79, as given in the 1939 Register. Not sure when they moved to Gatewood, but they are at Woodmansterne Road in 1950 (also with John), and in 1951 they were at Gatewood. "Isca" is latin for running water, but is also the prefix used for Exeter, hence this was presumably the reason for the name. I suspect that it comes from the previous generation though. | JACKMAN, Philip Ernest (I606)
|
| 417 | In the baptism register, the home is given as Leverstock Green, rather than Union Workhouse. She probably had a daughter Ann with James TINALL (b 27/5/1838) at Bovingdon - who appears with Sarah and Sarah's parents in the 1841 Census. The above is supported and supports the likely marriage with James FINAL 26 Jan 1845 (note correct name of father, and presence of George Freeman as a witness). There is a daughter Ann at the married family in 1851. So the above are considered to be sufficiently consistent and unique to confirm all the details here. | FREEMAN, Sarah (I138)
|
| 418 | In the Western Times of 23 Mar 1899, the death is reported as Lily, also incorrectly given as aged 27. | FRASER, Elizabeth Ann (I735)
|
| 419 | Interestingly there is a Jane bapt 28/10/1847 to John and Jane Puxley at St Mary, Shotesham (appears to be in Hawe Green, maybe 1km by road from All Saints.Puxley seems an uncommon name, so it would be likely the same parents, but no obvious death details for Jane prior to this Jane. Maybe she was baptised twice, and the death of John meant that it got missed. Why not their usual church - perhaps they were living in Hawe Green and then moved back to Shotesham after John's death? | PUXLEY, Jane (I976)
|
| 420 | Internet sites have his parents as William and Agnes SARGEANT, but there is no obvious reason for this. | VEY, William (I1041)
|
| 421 | Internet sites suggest that John's mother was Edith STEVENS, but I can see no evidence for this. The details for John, and thus any siblings and ancestors is speculative, but are based on the assumption that he lived all his life in Owemoigne. His death is chosen on the basis of suitable burials soon after the birth of what appears to be his youngest child. Thus all the story is at risk of change with more information. Interestingly there is a John Guy son of John and Jane baptised on 21/12/1755 at Owemoigne. It is perhaps unlikely that there were two John Guys in Owemoigne around this time, so it is perhaps possible that John remarried after Joanna died, and did not die in 1744. There are some internet sites that have him dieing in 1762, but it seems to be linked to either a burial in London, or a findagrave site for an Owemoigne resident that links to somebody being baptised in 1704. I am not sure how certain this is, but it is possible that the John baptised in 1755 was to this John who died in 1762. | GUY, John (I1225)
|
| 422 | Internet source suggests that he married Elizabeth Anna WATTS (1797-1885) in 1834 and died 1879, however this is clearly not definite. Also another child Caroline (1818-1909) 1861 Census assumed to be a mistake At 1851 Census is Sarah Bennett a9, g'dtr, b Southampton. Cannot find a suitable match for this, though there is a Sarah d of Charles and Jane as a possibility - but not obvious how this is a grand-d. Note also in the 1851 Census is a William BENNETT who might be a brother. He appears again in 1871 census for James Potter. Info from my parents suggests that William may have married Joanna and they both lived in Sampford Courtney. There may also be another brother James who married Susanna, living in North Tawton. | BENNETT, John (I863)
|
| 423 | It is assumed that the LDS records are mistaken.... there is no baptism on the date given. | MONGER, Louisa (I47)
|
| 424 | It is difficult to be sure what happens to the family after about 1891. There are entries which have been logged, but there are gaps. The separation, if this is what it happened, adds to the complications | Family: James William LITTLEMORE / Elizabeth Mary HARDING (F350)
|
| 425 | It is interesting to note that at the 1901 and 1911 Census, they were at 80, Lavender Road, and at 82 (next door) in 1921. I do not believe there is a mistake. I wonder if something happened in WW1 that allowed, or caused them to move next door. | Family: John Edwin HOLLINGSWORTH / Ellen Elizabeth IREMONGER (F253)
|
| 426 | It is interesting to note that she is in the same location in 1881 as 1871. But in the earlier census, she is just a visitor, with an unmarried George HOLLOWAY as he Butcher, in 1881 she seems to be running the establishment, as a Butcher. | JACKMAN, Elizabeth (I765)
|
| 427 | It is not clear exactly where is "Ham". It doesn't seem like a shorthand for Hamworthiy, and in addition to Hamworthy was Ham Copse, and buildings nearby, maybe farm buildings, or maybe accommodation. However it is clear that this is in the same region as is now covered by Hamworthy and Ham Common. | TUBB, Sarah (I1244)
|
| 428 | It is not clear exactly where is "Ham". It doesn't seem like a shorthand for Hamworthiy, and in addition to Hamworthy was Ham Copse, and buildings nearby, maybe farm buildings, or maybe accommodation. However it is clear that this is in the same region as is now covered by Hamworthy and Ham Common. | TUBB, John (I1072)
|
| 429 | It is not clear exactly where Jane was born, but Crowlink House was known in the early 1800s as a place to store and sell smuggled gin, which came in from a nearby cove. There are also some cottages nearby, which it is assumed date from the same period. Father William's job as a coast guard perhaps related to the treacherous seas near Beachy Head? | VEY, Jane (I1173)
|
| 430 | It is not clear exactly where Mary was born, but Crowlink House was known in the early 1800s as a place to store and sell smuggled gin, which came in from a nearby cove. There are also some cottages nearby, which it is assumed date from the same period. Father William's job as a coast guard perhaps related to the treacherous seas near Beachy Head? | VEY, Mary Jane (I1185)
|
| 431 | It is not clear if all the details here are right or not, and so the story may change. The only available marriage details for Arthur, are the ones here, and so the implication is that they were living together for more than 25 years before deciding to get married. Tracking back to the 1871 Census, we find Arthur with his wife Sarah Ann, identified as husband and wife, with Sarah's birth location given as Lowestoft. This coupled with the name of Sarah's father suggests that we do have the right Sarah Ann KNIGHTS. Note the witness at the wedding could be, though clearly not for certain, Sarah's mother. However Arthur states he is a widower at his marriage in 1880, and also in the 1861 Census. In addition the baptism of his children gives the mother as "Sarah", though of course this is a common name. It is not clear where Sarah Anne was at the 1861 Census. I have not found any marriage for Arthur around 1851-3 with a Sarah, but there is a Sarah Desborough buried in Camberwell in Oct 1857. The FindAGrave transcript says she was aged 34 (ie born around 1823). My current suspicion is that this "other" Sarah is the children's mother, and that at some point after 1861, Sarah Anne Knights came to live with them, perhaps as some form of home help. But I cannot locate anything that provides more information about this (new) Sarah. | Family: Arthur DESBOROUGH / Sarah Anne KNIGHTS (F197)
|
| 432 | It is not clear what happened to John. There are no burials in North Tawton, so it is assumed that he grew to adulthood. There is a record of a John Jackman being apprenticed to a Mercer (dealer in fabrics, generally fine fabrics), Edward GOSTWYCK in North Tawton in 1780. Although 22 seems quite old, there are no other John Jackmans born in the near vicinity after this John, so it is at least a possibility. There is a possible marriage in Okehampton in 1798, but no particular reason to assume it is this John, There is a burial in Brushford (5 miles from N. Tawton) in 1783. This is perhaps the most likely.... | JACKMAN, John (I736)
|
| 433 | It is not clear what happens after 1881 Census. There is a Harry Robert NOTTING, but his wedding data says that he was born in Littlehampton, albeit his father is George. There is a Henry NOTTING baptised in 1867, to Robert and Amy. So it is challenging to find the right person amongst the records..... | NOTTING, Henry R (I1263)
|
| 434 | It is not clear what happens after 1901 Census. The details presented here seem to be the most likely. His wife Emily (KING) is clearly here, and the details in this census match the WW1 records. The fact that the 1911 Census records him as coming from Walworth, although living in Hertfordshire is significant, and of course there is a significant family connection with Boxmoor and Hertfordshire more generally. | BARBER, William Edward (I131)
|
| 435 | It is not clear what happens after her baptism. I can find no BMD nor Census records | HILBECK, Mary Ann (I1133)
|
| 436 | It is not clear what happens after she is baptised (see also notes for Marian Jackman, b1736). There is a burial in 1737 (but not noted as a child, but possible), also 1778 and 1779, so it is probably one of these. There are no obvious marriages - best is 1767 in Exeter, so considered unlikely. | JACKMAN, Mary (I727)
|
| 437 | It is not clear what happens after the 1871 Census. I can find no record in either 1881 (or 1891), nor in BMD indices. | POTTER, Richard (I623)
|
| 438 | It is not clear what happens after this. There is no evidence that he had married, indeed he signed up to the RGA in August 1914 (giving his mother and brother as next of kin). Occupation given as Hawker. He was found guilty of lying to the recruiting officer (age is wrong, though no reason given). But I can find no suitable 1911 Census, or indeed anything convincing after his discharge in 1915. There is a William J Webb married to Emily who is a Traveller in Leather and Grindery in the 1921 Census, and is there in 1939. But the birth year of 1885 seems somewhat adrift of the ages given in 1891 and 1901. | WEBB, William James (I167)
|
| 439 | It is not clear what happens next - there are too many possible people, even within 10 miles. However the majority of the sites on the internet suggest he travelled to Rickmansworth, and married in 1832, and stayed in the Watford area till his death in 1893. Apart from the fact that the censuses say he came from Great Gaddesden, which is compelling but not conclusive (given the popularity of the name), there appears to be little to support the theory. However if I can obtain the marriage info, then that would be suffiicient | FREEMAN, Joseph (I141)
|
| 440 | It is not clear what happens to Emily after 1911. She might have separated from Henry, as she is not in his will, but very clearly dies after him. However she kept her name. The 1939 Register seems the most likely; the location is close to the Thornton Heath addresses of the family, but there is no obvious connection to the householder. The birth date is very consistent with the baptism, and so the record is accepted. | AYLWARD, Emily Agnes (I115)
|
| 441 | It is not clear what happens to Frances after 1881. She is not evident in any Census, nor in deaths, at least not before about 1915 (in which case there would be Census references). There is a possible wedding in 1895 to either PINDER or CRAWLEY. But there is no Census with this name. | HOLLINGSWORTH, Frances Louisa (I503)
|
| 442 | It is not clear what happens to Jane. She may have died unmarried and been buried in South Tawton 19/5/1754, or possibly married Thomas JONES in South Tawton 21/6/1756. I do not believe there is any evidence for any one of these (or indeed another outcome) | JACKMAN, Jane (I754)
|
| 443 | It is not clear what happens to Mark William after 1871. There is a William Harvey of the right age as a waiter in Croydon in 1891. It is probably him, though he gives his birthplace as Lambeth, which is where he grew up. | HARVEY, Mark William (I226)
|
| 444 | It is not clear where David comes from. The earliest record of him, apart from baptism with details is 1841 Census, when he is not from Hertfordshire. In 1851 he is from Bedfordshire. That may be true but it is not true of his children, so this may just be a sloppy recording by the enumerator. I have not found him in 1861...he was widowed and some of his children are living with his future wife, Fanny. In 1871, he is from Andover in Hampshire. In 1881, he is from Hertfordshire, in 1891, he is from Hampshire, and in 1901 he is from Hertfordshire. Of the available baptism records on the internet, only Hampshire appears - there are two, from 1814 and 1817. Most likely of the two is in Overton 9/7/1817, son of William and Sarah, based on Hampshire bapt transcript, and also on IGI. His marriage to Jane has William as his father. The other record is in Tadley 12/6/1814, son of David and Charlotte. Overton is slightly closer to Andover than Tadley. This David appears to feature in Hampshire Censusses in the 1800s. So overall, the most probable location for his birth is Hampshire, probably Overton (with Andover as the larger local town he may have remembered later). This is used here, but acknowledges that there is still considerable uncertainty. His job as a type founder in 1841 (also appears in son George's baptism records) refers to somebody who worked in a foundry making wooden or metal typefaces. Rather a specialist job....Just near to where he lived in Hemel Hempstead at the backof the High St is Phoenix Foundry, which is presumably where he worked, at the time. In 1851 he is an Ag Lab. Perhaps something happened or bothered him at the foundry. Possible death Mar qtr 1909, Hemel Hempstead, vol 3a, p 550 | MONGER, David (I43)
|
| 445 | It is not clear whether they were at No 12 or No 14, but it is assumed that it was No 12 given they way the Census was recorded. | Source (S277)
|
| 446 | It is possible that he does not fit in as the Bishops transcription says his mother was born GALES, and the baptism register is silent. But based on the evidence set down about Peter and his family, it is likely that John is here, and there is a mistake about his mother's maiden name. John then possibly marries Frances COPE in St Pancras 23/1/1826 and daughter Mary was bapt 21/11/1827. But there is no particular reason to assume that this is the right John Juniper. There is a John Juniper at Lexden Heath in Colchester in the 1868 Poll register but again there is no reason to assume this is the same person. | JUNIPER, John (I982)
|
| 447 | It is unclear what happens after 1851. The situation is further complicated by the fact that many of the HULLs have been transcribed as HALL. There are a number of possible marriages in the area, though none of these produce an obvious match in the 1861 Census locally. The most likely possibility is that she is unmarried in 1861, as a servant (not a dressmaker), at 1, Ordnance Row in Portsea. But this is not at all certain. | HULL, Sarah Ann (I1111)
|
| 448 | It is unclear what happens after 1881. Many of the internet sites suggest a death in 1884, but it is not necessarily right. There are other possibilities all the way to the 1939 Register. I have found nothing definite (ie with the name Stevenson in the record) | WEBB, Harry Stevenson (I161)
|
| 449 | It is unclear what happens after 1921. The most likely at the moment is that she dies, unmarried, Battersea Q3, 1935. | WEBB, Edith Annie (I108)
|
| 450 | It is unclear what happens to Alice after 1911. There are a number of marriages, but none seem to give reliable death data or 1939 register entries. Nor is there anything obvious for somebody who does not marry | THORPE, Alice Sarah (I635)
|
