Who was Old Man Jagger?
« on: Monday 01 July 19 07:47 BST (UK) »
I have a baby Windsor Chair  it looks a lot like this one  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-style-windsor-wooden-childs-dolls-bears-high-back-arm-chair/273813899951?hash=item3fc0948aaf:g:mhEAAOSwcnZcL7Cf

The story behind it is that it was given to my mother when she was about 4 (so circa 1938) by Old Man Jagger as a thank you to my grandmother, who was headmistress of Colston Bassett primary school (Notts)  who had tutored a grandson? great grandson? so that he was able to win a scholarship and so go on to Grammar School.
The chair had been made for him (OMJ) when he was a toddler 1850-1860

I have been told that "old man Jagger' died about 1950 having lived until he was 100

But who WAS Old Man Jagger?

I can't see a death that fits.
I don't see a likely candidate in the 1939 (which is Bingham R.D)

Ah, thank you Tazzie. I've been believing my Uncle implicitly and he was born 1936 and my mother in 1934.  I hadn't thought to look earlier. Stupid!

So, the chair must have been given by perhaps A. A. Jagger

not J. A. Bassett but J. A. Jagger or A. A. Jagger depending
and I think the latter is the correct one as Albert A Jagger of Holme Farm, Colston Bassett is a witness in a coroner's hearing.

added - one of the articles has a photograph. Not very clear but Very satisfying never the less

So, Albert Asquith JAGGER b 1862 in the USA  his sister Ida Florence JAGGER b 1866 Hunsworth,Yorkshire
Both are single in 1911 and with William JAGGER

in the 1937 coroners hearing Albert describes calling for his sister, (not his wife).
So if neither of them was married who was the child who got the scholarship to grammar school???

I am going to  have to go back to my Uncle and see if he can dredge up an alternate story!
