• Notes

  Refer to separate file with information gathered as a result of his broken engagement in 1911. It is likely that he was in Morocco at the time of the 1911 Census. He was inducted into the Sherborne Freemason lodge 7th June 1911, giving his address as Milborne Port, and his occupation as "Land Agent". I cannot find any other reliable record of him (eg electoral roll) in the area in 1910-12. In 1912, he is there as a benificiary of Albert Jackman, but as the money went to his solicitor, it does not really tell us more about where he is living. He was excluded from the Lodge in 1916, and appears not to have attended since 1914, which lends some doubt as to where he is actually living. Note that his father was also a Freemason, so that is probably how he joined, though note that he was also excluded (in 1897). As to why Sherborne - is that because his half brother William went to school there? I cannot find him at the 1921 Census either, but at his father's funeral in Aug 1923, the Exeter and Plymouth Gazette says he "at present abroad" to explain his non appearance at the funeral. He left £17,974 to William and Philip Jackman. The Western Daily Morning News and Daily Gazette 4 Nov 1932 reported that he left some artwork to Exeter Museum and £6000 in trust to Nancy Jackman. Also in his will, travel books, arabic manuscripts and copy of 1001 Nights were left to the Royal Geographical Society. So I assume that he spent much of the time after 1911 travelling the world, but I can find no records of this.
