Arthur Wilson Jackman - Devizes

[Mike S]

Looking for information re Arthur Wilson Jackman and his family, he was married to Ethel May Weeks in 1901 at Epsom, Surrey. I have been told by my Mother that he was at one time Mayor of Devizes. Ethel May Weeks was my Mothers Aunt. Any help appreciated, Thanks, Mike Small.

Hello Mike

Sorry you did not get a reply to this!  As you might gather Arthur is proving hard to locate.

You can find the marriage reference on freebmd if you need it.

There is a possibility:

RG13/1927/21/33

Arthur W JACKMAN boarder U 30 - engine (something) - Isle of Wight

Address: 103 New Park St, St Mary's , Wiltshire

Staying with the TAYLOR family

kind regards, Arranroots

Thanks for your reply to my query. Ihave got an Arthur W Jackman b1868 Chiswick who could also fit - found him in 1881 Census living in Battersea, not far from Epsom where he Married in 1901. So I think it will remain a puzzle for longer. Thanks for your help, Regards, Mike Small

Hi
Just had a thought about the fact that Arthur Wilson Jackman was reputed to have been a Mayor of Devizes.- if you contact the Devizes Museum they will more than likely be able to help you http://www.devizes-tc.gov.uk/museum.htm  or if they can't; put you in touch with someone who can
