Certainly looks like Jacmon.

Any idea where she was born?

(Maybe she was not British. Or maybe it was Jackman...)

Best regards,
Karen

Well found her on the Irish 1901 & 1911 census, however it says her married name.
It says she was born in Wexford, but I can’t find birth or baptism records of her or her daughter.  ???

Jackman in an Irish accent?  I've seen 'Isobel' as 'Esibill' before.

Think her name is Chapman
Is this the family?

if so I think this is Thomas' birth 1898

Wow! Looks like it could be!  ;D
You are stars!
Chapman/Jacmon could be correct as they sound similar?
