901 The Surrey Advertiser and County Times that reports on the wedding on 25 Jun 1932 says Eleanor was "a talented member of the Horsell Amateur Dramatic Society". Also that Muriel Juniper was one of the bridesmaids, and that Leonard Juniper was best man. Family: Horace Wells JUNIPER / Eleanor JONES (F344)
 
902 The text in the baptism register is not completely clear, but Drewsteignton I think is the only possible interpretation of a birth location. See also notes about sister Joane

The text says:
"Alexander the sonne of Thomas Jackman ?of? [unclear]?y parish of ?Drewsteignton? was baptised the 29th day of May"
The unclear part is only 2 letters, and maybe nothing at all. But the "y" seems quite distinct.

There are possible burials in South Tawton in 1735, 1739 and 1740 but there is nothing to say if these or any other burials are the right ones. 
JACKMAN, Alexander (I788)
 
903 The tree at http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/34754962/person/18699292740
has Fanny's parents as Tom and Ann (HADDEN) 
Family: William MEREDEN / Fanny FREEMAN (F13)
 
904 The Will of Joseph Bowles (who died around 1804 in Wimborne Minster), makes it clear that Mary's parents are Joseph and Mary. BOLES, Mary (I1333)
 
905 The writing is unclear and so the house name is very difficult to judge. This looks most likely based on the enumerators writing on other entries. Source (S1184)
 
906 The year of birth is uncertain. 1889 is that given at the 1939 Register, and is closer on average to the Census returns. The School admission data from 1897 says 1888, and so this may be correct as it is closer to the birth than most Census, though note that in 1891 she was given as 1. I can find no GRO entry for her birth, which would be conclusive (and no baptism either). (Note that there is definitely a mistake over her brother Herbert Henry and also appears to be a mistake over her sister Alice Maud too.)

The school admission register says "Hardly knows a word", presumably relating to her admission at age 8.

Marries George William ALEXANDER 20/12/1914 at Holy Trinity Church, Tooting.

The Fulham Chronicle of 5/2/1937 says that on the previous morning she was rescued from the Thames near Wandsworth Bridge. Her address was given as 43, Broughton Road, Fulham. There is no indication of cause. 
DAY, Annie Florence (I451)
 
907 There appear to be 2 possible William Impey's in the scanned registers. In addition to the one chosen, there is another born 1693 in Hitchin. This has not be chosen for the simple reason that it is marginally further away - but it is entirely possible that William was in fact born in 1693 in Hitchin.

The parish records do have a William IMPEY, labourer who was buried 9/3/1727/8 - this might be our William and the reason there were no more children. Whilst it is not conclusive, there appears to be nothing more on the internet, and so this is adopted. 
IMPY, William (I396)
 
908 There appears to be no records of Ann after her baptism, but it is assumed that she died, probably before 1837 SLOCOMBE, Ann (I639)
 
909 There are 2 other baptisms, that might be possible children :-
Mary, 27/12/1748; but this refers to her being born at Ansty
Elizabeth, 24/6/1751; in Hilton.

If the burial details for Martha are correct, then it would be strange but not impossible to live at Ansty for a short period. On the other hand, there do not seem to be any other John and Martha White, and having just 2 children would be unusual.

I have not found any other relevant marriage between John White and Martha in Hilton though of course there may be a couple married in a nearby village.

Lastly, there is the baptism and burial of Susannah White (daughter of John and Martha), on 5/1/1760. In the burial register it says "of Ansty". 
Family: John WHITE / Martha DIRANT (F399)
 
910 There are a number of conflicting documents for his birth. There are several that have 16 Apr 1898, but 1899 is preferred as it matches the BMD records and is earlier than most of the others, and is strictly correct for the 1901 Census (31/3/1901). There is also 6th April in one record.

The IMechE records state that he was at Kings School, Canterbury from 1913-1917 (after which he signed up to the RAF) and then working for his father from 1919-1924, and then at St Catherines Coll, Cambridge from 1924-1927.

Possibly contrarily, he left Liverpool on 20/2/1919 for New York, on SS Lapland (no occupation given, age 19), and returns from Quebec on the SS Empress of Britain 1/9/1923 into Southampton, occupation "Manager"

He became an Associate of the IMechE on 21/10/1927 and resigned on 23/10/1942

He was admitted to the Freedom of the City of London, supported by his father in 26/11/1920. This, and the RAF records identify that he was also a lance corporal in the Army (presumably before the RAF was officially formed?). The RFC records give his details as Surrey Regiment no 11265 (with a question mark), then 3rd Btn XXXXX (unreadable) (no 30457) where he was L/Cpl. It records he was "fit as pilot or observer" 18/7/1918

During all of this time he records his home address as "Purbrook", Clifford Rd - presumably where his parents were.

He left £111677 in his will (1979) 
JUNIPER, Horace Wells (I942)
 
911 There are a number of outgoing passenger lists to Marseilles and then the Canary Islands with Harold HULL on it 1926, 27, 28, 30, though other than insurance, there is no other evidence of what he was doing.

Harold married Dorothy Ellen WARD, at Rayleigh Methodist Church, 5/5/1938. GRO ref Apr qtr 1938, Rochford, Essex, vol 4a, p2298. Note that the 1939 Register has a windowed lady Grace A WARD (born 1862). One of the bridesmaids was Elizabeth JACKMAN.

Their son is David HULL who married Margaret and a daugher Mary who married Rino ?di Gaetano? in Rome. 
HULL, Harold Ralph (I1124)
 
912 There are a number of PARISHs in Bow at this time, but the most likely scenario is somebody baptised in 1749, son of John (b1726) and Anne PARISH, John (I659)
 
913 There are a number of people called David Pike, but given that the 1841 Census is likely to be correct, we assume he does not marry Eliza PARSONS 8/4/1837 at St Michaels, St Albans, nor die in 1832 (!).

The death details are for the same person found in the later censusses, though his middle age years are more speculative. 
PIKE, David (I223)
 
914 There are a number of possible baptisms on IGI, but most likely seems to be 2 Jul 1804, at Woodmancote, son of William and Ann GREGORY. The IGI record of marriage also has his father as William. GREGORY, William (I1155)
 
915 There are a number of possible events after 1841 but none of the censusses and marriages seem right in terms of location etc. Most likely I think is that he died 1847 (Hemel Hempstead, Q3, 1847) FREEMAN, James (I139)
 
916 There are at least 3 obvious burials for Alexander in South Tawton:-
2 Mar 1735/1736
14 Apr 1739
7 May 1740.

His daughter Joan was baptised Sep 1735, so any of these are possible.

Trees on the internet seems to have a date of 1734 which seems unlikely. 
JACKMAN, Alexander (I787)
 
917 There are no definite records of Elizabeth, but the most likely scenario is that she was buried, still as BROOKLAND, on 5/2/1758 in Crediton BROOKLAND, Elizabeth (I850)
 
918 There are no obvious baptism records. The internet sites say 25/6, FMP says that Thomas is a yeoman, but there are no baptism details at that date. The North Tawton parish records say that Mary GIBBONS (to Samuel and Ursula) was bapt 27/6, Samuel is a yeoman. However this does not match the quoted age at death of 4m. The only Samuel I can find is bapt 19/3 to Richard and Elizabeth HILL. The baptism date matches the age at death.

The burial records give his middle name as Rudale, but it was not the normal vicar, and Ruddall matches Thomas's mother's maiden name, and so seems more likely.

One internet site says that according to information from his brother Thomas, Samuel died of whooping cough. 
WILKEY, Samuel Ruddall (I693)
 
919 There are no obvious children born to a John and Joan Melhuish, so either they did not have children or one of them died. At the moment the most obvious is Joane "from Spreyton" 10/5/1747, recorded for Crediton and this has been used. There are many burials of John Melhuish, though none in Spreyton. Family: John MELHUISH / Joan JACKMAN (F299)
 
920 There are no obvious marriages - within 5 miles of South Tawton, the first time Elizabeth Jackman appears is 1754, which would mean she was very old.
The burial date put down seems the most likely but there are burials in 1744, 1745 and 1792. The first 2 are entirely possible for this person. The last one seems less likely, given that the lady is described as a pauper. 
JACKMAN, Elizabeth (I711)
 
921 There are no obvious marriages to DEAN or DEAR, so it is assumed that they did not marry.

The name is of course a common one, so some of the later info is speculative.
JW Webb does appear in the Norfolk electoral rolls in 1914 and 1915, which matches where his wife was in hospital.

Note that when he marries Mary Elizabeth, he (incorrectly) gives his age as 45

A poss death Jun 1952, Romford, aged 83 
WEBB, John William (I7)
 
922 There are no obvious records of Frederick after 1891 IMPEY, Frederick Charles (I409)
 
923 There are no other obvious baptisms in or near Throwleigh up to 1675. Family: Thomas JACKMAN / Maude GRAY (F311)
 
924 There are no unambiguous records of George after 1881. There is no clear census record, but no obvious death in the FreeBMD indices either. There is a George William who married Annie Louisa ELLISS 9/9/1888 and his occupation is given as a carman, which matches 1881 Census. But his father is a "wood chopper" which in general does not match the weaver occupations (though note he is a carpenter at Elizabeth's marriage); and the marriage date is after the most likely death date, though the marriage record may have just not mentioned a decd father.

However the 1911 Census does look consistent and so is recorded here as probably likely... 
TAYLOR, George William (I55)
 
925 There are other possible children (from IGI) born to Thomas and Sarah Clark in the right area, but no evidence for this being the right couple.
Thomas Joseph (1826)
William Thomas (1827)
Mary Ann (1829)
Ann (1829) 
Family: Thomas CLARK / Sarah ????? (F5)
 
926 There are possible BMD index records for birth for both Frederick Ernest and Ernest Frederick. At the moment the EF Frost seems a slightly better location, but will wait for more info before altering the name. The 1891 Census says his parents were Arthur and Amelia.

He served in the army as a private in the Middlesex Regiment (?RFA), joining up in 1902, completed in 1904(?) and then from the reserves went to fight with the BEF and discharged 19/8/1915 to 167 South St., Walworth 
FROST, Frederick Ernest (I518)
 
927 There are possible Catherine Lovells in the 1851 Census (servant, aged 17) and 1861 Census (aged 26 with her brother in law and sister?), and a possible marriage 10/12/1869 but difficult to reconcile the details. However it does seem likely that she married Charles NOBLE in Dec 1869 (father given as John, a timber merchant), and she then appears in the 1871, 81, 91, 01 censuses (dying in Jan 1910). Censuses give birth as St George in the East, which is consistent. Charles NOBLE died in 1893. Witness to the marriage includes Elizabeth DAIKERS, who is her sister (from 1861 Census) and James DAIKERS did marry Elizabeth LOVELL in 1859. In the marriage between Elizabeth and James, it again has John Lovell as father as timber merchant. However I cannot find an Elizabeth LOVELL born to a John LOVELL. In the 1871 Census for Elizabeth it also has Elizabeth LOVELL (who could be a mother, albeit born London, and thus not consistent with the scrawl in the 1841 Census). None of this is really conclusive either way.... LOVELL, Catherine (I29)
 
928 There are too many options to establish death, but it seems fairly clear he was not in the 1939 Register, and therefore died between 1921 and 1939.
The most likely (but by no means certain) death is therefore 1934 in London City. 
WEBB, William James (I158)
 
929 There are too many possibilities about his earlier life to be sure which is him and which is somebody else. There is a baptism on 30/6/1837 at St Martins in the fields for a son to Edward, a porter, and Elizabeth, this Edward was born 22/10/1834 at an address that is unclear, and could easily be in the Strand area.

The 1891 Census implies that he had been deaf and dumb from childhood, along with his wife 
HARVEY, Edward (I128)
 
930 There are too many possibilities on death for Mary to be able to identify any particular option. However there is nothing suitable in North Tawton. BROOKLAND, Mary (I847)
 
931 There are two possibilities for burials in South Tawton - 1775 and 1778. There is nothing to chose between them, so arbitrarily I have assumed the burials apply in order of birth date, ie this John is buried 1778 and the John b1716 is buried in 1775. (see also John JACKMAN b1716 South Tawton)
 
JACKMAN, John (I742)
 
932 There are two possible Thomas JACKMAN's in the area on the web - this one, which is probably the more likely, and an earlier burial, ("Thomas son of Dan") also in South Tawton on 18/5/1676. But there is nothing obvious for the popular birth date of 1640, and in addition, the lack of later children suggests that either he or Maud (for whom I can find no evidence) of death, died soon after 1666. There appears to be nothing to confirm who Thomas's father is. JACKMAN, Thomas (I696)
 
933 There are various transcripts of the baptism details on the internet; I think it is 19th Oct, but it is variously reported as 7th or 14th.... GUY, Sarah (I1144)
 
934 There is a "Geo Vey" marrying Amy STILES in West Lulworth in 1819, but it seems unlikely to be this person. VEY, George (I1011)
 
935 There is a 1939 Register for Ernest Frost, but it gives the DOB as 6/11/1896, which is surely at least partly incorrect. The presumed wife is Hannah, DOB 25/7/1894 which certainly doesn't match Emma Desborough. So this record is ignored. Family: Frederick Ernest FROST / Emma Ethel DESBOROUGH (F256)
 
936 There is a BABBS family in Camberwell (3, Sereton Road) in 1891 Census, head Charles, a capenter, but there is nothing remotely like Grace Agnes living there.

She was admitted to the Newington Workhouse on 22/1/1916. Given that she was buried in March, it is probable that she died there. 
BABBS, Grace Agnes (I276)
 
937 There is a burial record for an Eliza Jane Taylor at St Marylebone cemetery in Jan 1934, with the right age. But the surname is a common one, so this is not definitely our Eliza. STYLES, Eliza Jane (I74)
 
938 There is a chance this person does not exist, but there is strong evidence for him.

He appears at the same address in 1841 as Mary LONDON, who is assumed to be the Mary (IMPEY) who married Edward LONDON.

Then in 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881, there is a William LONDON living with Hannah IMPEY, and in 1871 and 1881 they are cousins. The ages match and the relationship matches too.

The downsides are firstly the gap that I have between William and the next youngest child, and the presumed age of his mother (56) at birth. I can find no baptism record for him. Also he gives his birthplace in 1861, 1871 and 1881 as St Albans. It also presumes that his older brother William (born 1810) had died. At the moment, this seems unlikely, though there is no definite evidence for death (at the time of writing).

However, the mention of cousins in 1871 and 1881 is important, and so the Census and other data has been used.

Why did he say he was born in St Albans? Maybe the enumerator just wrote it down, though given that nobody else in the vicinity was from St Albans this seems unlikely. Did he have a cold and it sounded like St Albans? Again, unlikely given that this is said in 3 years. There is a place St Ippolyts, with is only 3-4 miles away, and could sound like St Albans. Had he fallen out with his siblings and wanted nothing to do with them? Maybe.

There is a William baptised to Edward and Keziah LONDON in St Albans on 3 Dec 1820. There is no sensible Census information that follows this.

So here is what I think happened:-

There are no other baptisms recorded to Edward and Kezia LONDON (or similar names) in Hertfordshire in the period 1808-1828 (Edward's death), other than the one above. Keziah London, Edward's daughter died, I think, in 1838.

St Albans is 24 miles away by foot, from Willian.

I think Edward and Mary's daughter, Keziah, got pregnant, and aged 14 she gave birth to a boy, who was baptised in St Albans by Keziah (and his grandfather). The boy was called William, and when Keziah died, came to live with his grandmother, Mary. At later censuses, he lived with his cousin (actually 1st cousin once removed, but close enough), Hannah IMPEY. Keziah London was buried on 6 Sep 1838 in Willian, but curiously there is a burial of somebody with the same name, on the same day, in Ware. I wonder if (her) cousin Hannah, was working in the area, and whether Keziah and her son William lived in Ware, and if so that means it would be entirely natural for William to be living in later years with Hannah.

Edward may have been the actual father, or he just played the part to support his daughter. He was buried in Willian, so if he had committed incest, it seems he was forgiven in some way.

Not that there is any real evidence for any of this; just perhaps the best that fits the facts. 
LONDON, William (I364)
 
939 There is a Charles Impey who joined the National Union of Railwaymen on 17/09/16, aged 56 as a Horsekeeper for the L&SWR at the Nine Elms 2 branch, and excluded 12/19 for not paying. There is also a Charles Impey who joined same branch 15/09/18, aged 59, also as a Horsekeeper, who died 10/20. Either (or both) could be this person.

There is also a record of an assault on a Charles Impey in Sept 1912, but this is north London, so perhaps unlikely 
IMPEY, Charles Henry (I435)
 
940 There is a Charlotte STAPLETON in the London schools admission of 1899, with a birth date of 4/6/1892, ie the same as Lottie Henrietta, with an address of 28 Olney St. So it clearly is the same family, but probably just another name, not a twin. Family: Sidney George STAPLETON / Henrietta Mary Ann DESBOROUGH (F196)
 
941 There is a considerable distance (15 miles on foot) from Winfrith, where Joseph comes from, to Hilton, where Martha had her church and they were married. However, this seems to be the most obvious match of the records available, and since their first child is baptised in Owermoigne, it suggests that they met in the Winfrith area, and returned to her home church for the wedding. I have therefore restricted the checks on Martha's baptism to very close to Hilton, with the results given Family: Joseph GUY / Martha WHITE (F341)
 
942 There is a Frances Elizabeth DISBOROUGH born in Greenwich to James and Mary Ann June 5th 1818 and bapt July 21st, but father's occupation is given as Broker, plus the dates do not really line up... DESBOROUGH, Frances Elizabeth (I504)
 
943 There is a John Ghost dieing at Berkhamsted, 6 miles away, in 1848. But it is not clear the age, but as yet I have not found a census return or a burial record, so it is not clear if this is the same person or not. GHOST, John (I192)
 
944 There is a marriage between Nellie F Littlemore and Joseph GARRETT, Q1 1934, Richmond. (Note, present indications are that Nellie's mother died in Richmond 1932). There is then a 1939 Register entry for them in Barnes. Unfortunately Nellie's DOB is given as 22/5/1882, and there is no obvious reason why this would be incorrect, though it could just be an accident. There is a presumed daughter, May, born 1923, so presumably an earlier marriage (Joseph's DOB is given as 1862).

Other than that I can find no record of Nellie.

(See general notes on the family with the parents) 
LITTLEMORE, Nellie Frances (I1136)
 
945 There is a marriage between William JACKMAN and Mary EDWORTHY 10/11/1823 at Crediton, but it is probably not the same William.

The burial is based on the only match on the internet for somebody born about 1790, within reasonable distance of N Tawton. But there are obviously other possibilities. 
JACKMAN, William (I690)
 
946 There is a possible Census entry in Brighton in 1861 (birthplace given as Laughton(?), not far from Willingdon, but not close either.

A possible marriage to Herbert LEVETT 1866 St Nicholas, Brighton. Appears to be a couple in 1871.... 
JONES, Ellen (I1196)
 
947 There is a possible marriage between Ann and either Thomas FAILS or Edwin PEARSON in Portsea, Apr qtr 1863. No obvious census matches but there is Ann Elizabeth PEARSON death Jan qtr 1881 in Portsea. Therefore the more likely is a marriage to Thomas. THOMAS, Ann Elizabeth (I1190)
 
948 There is a possible marriage with William STUBBINGS in Bromley by Bow in 1848 but not considered likely.... IMPEY, Elizabeth (I439)
 
949 There is a possible William Ellis in military records - A sargeant in the Grenadier Gauards (cf Coldstream Guards on the marriage certificate), but otherwise is consistent. If so this gives his birth as Topsham, which matches a possible IGI record for a birth and christening in Mar 1816 to William Ellis (consistent with marriage cert) and Mary Anne......
Non conformant records from Topsham identify a dob as 4/3/1816 and baptism as 17/3/1816 
ELLIS, William (I802)
 
950 There is a record of a Joan GORDON being buried Sampford Courtenay 9/5/1761. No indication of age, but it seems at least possible that this is the same person. GORDON, Joanna (I794)
