• Notes

  Note, there is a baptism of a John to John and Jane Jackman, shopkeeper, in N. Tawton in 11 Aug 1833. Although not our John, it is presumably a relative, and perhaps I will find out who this is. John built up a saddlery business. This is covered in a separate document, but this is a summary. The first time I can find him at 110, Wardour St is an advert on the 26 May 1856. Given the frequency of these adverts it is likely that this was very shortly after he set up business there. The advert says "from Messrs Peats and Co", so is that his former employer?. On 8th May 1867, he took over the business at 138 Long Acre, the previous owner having become bankrupt.
