BUTLEIGH PEOPLE - J

Jackson

1) Harry Jackson, motor driver

The likely father is the Henry Jackson (b. 1875 Ireland) chauffeur, married to Matilda (b. 1873 Ireland) who in 1911 had two children surviving but no Robert – he must have been one of the three children (of 5) who had died by 1911. Probably the Robert George Jackson 'b. 1906' who died 1910 (Jun Q 1d/462 Greenwich). In 1911 these parents lived at 15, Berkeley Mews, St. Marylebone. A Robert George Jackson aged 2 died in 1907 in Sussex and another aged 5 in 1910 in Greenwich.

12) Thomas Jacklett junior died 1708

Probably a contemporary and cousin rather than a son of the latter Thomas [a possible birth 1642 of the latter precludes this being his son and paying rates in 1673 – probably a son of (9)]. This Thomas was churchwarden in 1682 and Overseer of the Poor in 1693. He paid rates from 1673 – 1708 after which the property was rated 'late Thomas Jacklett'.

2) Esau Jacobs Chr. 7 Aug 1796 Baltonsborough, s.o. Benjamin and Mary Jacobs, died 5 Feb 1881 (Mar Q 5c/421 Wells) 41-9

In 1841 Esau Jacobs 40, farmer and his wife Grace with children Elijah, Alfred, Elizabeth and Sarah lived at Parsonage Farm [Court/Home Farm] in Compton Street. Esau is confirmed as the occupant on the Tithe map of 1844 in being at Court Farm. Grace died in 1848 and Esau went to live in Pilton (1851). He married Fanny Brown in 1852 and they are found together in Street in 1871. Esau and Fanny both died in 1881.

Elijah seems to be the person b. Hornblotton who farmed 87 acres in Sutton Montis in 1851, married to Ann Haine (Chr. 2 Jun 1824 Edgarley, d.o. Thomas Haine - married 26 May 1846 (Jun Q 10/825 Wells) West Pennard) and whose first sons (of nine children) Frederick and Jacob Haine were born in Baltonsborough.

4) Mary Jacobs b. 1826 Pennard [Chr. 26 Mar 1826 d.o. Benjamin and Adria Jacobs?] 41-4, 51W-38

Mary was a servant at the home of Daniel Bartlett at Corville in 1841. may be a relative of Esau and Grace. If so, then the Jacobs were related to Ann Bartlett who occupied Rowley Farm (Butleigh Wootton) in 1851 since Mary Jacobs stayed with her and is listed as her niece. She may also be the Mary Ann Jacobs b. Baltonsborough who was housekeeper at 17, High Street, St. Lawrence, Southampton in 1871. #

5) Ernest Augustus Jacob b. 1854 (Mar Q 5c/631 Wells) Baltonsborough, Public House manager, s.o. Thomas and Hester Jacob

Emma Weaver had lived in Butleigh High Street and appeared there on the Butleigh censuses for 1861/71. She married Jacob in 1879. In 1881 they are found living at 3, Mill Street, Baltonsborough where Ernest was renting cows and selling milk'. In 1891 Ernest ran the "Rising Sun" in Stanton Drew, Som., and must have only recently arrived there from Butleigh. By 1901 they had moved to 93, Thomas St., St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol where Ernest was a Broker's bailiff and Emma a grocer. Percival and William were both called 'motormen'. By 1911 bus driver Percival headed the family and his mother Emma was a widow living with him plus his grandfather James Weaver.

William Thomas was still single in 1911, working for the tramways, and lodged at 2, Springfields valley, London Rd., St. Leonards on Sea, Hastings. Eva might be the barmaid working at the Ship Hotel, West St., Banwell, Weston super Mare in 1911, though she gives her p.o.b. as Pensford, Som.

Jakeman

1) Edward Jakeman b. 1857 (Mar Q 3a/542 Bicester) Chesterton, Oxon, farm manager, s.o. Isaac and Sophia [Letitia?] Jakeman 01-133
