Monkeynuts Posted 12 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 12 October , 2021 Hi Alison Hope you get better from the Cov I had it last year not very pleasant At the moment any suggestion is appreciated no matter how silly My Grandad is a complete mystery As far as we are concerned he was a only child and when looking for the Army Records other thing came to light like a complete family of brothers and sisters . It does not help both have the same names so confusion will be possible everyone family wise is dead so no leads there I think I have all the easy online stuff but every time I feel I cracked it another mystery pops up. At the moment I have started looking at other family trees linking to mine hoping someone may have pictures etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisonmallen62 Posted 12 October , 2021 Share Posted 12 October , 2021 So was your Alfred married in 1923 to Rose Cale? If so the records mentioned above are for a different and tattooed man who married Elsie. His signature on the documents relating to his heart is the same as the signature on the marriage bans in 1918. That would mean to me that a clerk confused documentation as it was possible they were in the same place at the same time. The Alfred who married Elsie had a different address whereas your man seems to have stayed put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeynuts Posted 12 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 12 October , 2021 Yes My Alfred married Rose Cale in 1923 but again the funny thing is on the Banns document it stated that both their parents were dead ? another lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeynuts Posted 12 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 12 October , 2021 After a lot of looking I have found two things for the Mystery Man with Tattoos. Wedding Cirt which states occupation as Driver (Discharged Soldier ) And another doc asking for War Medals to be issued. So now can we assume he is not My Grand Father and as you said got the address mixed up . Ok now that has been possibly cleared up how to find My Alfred's call up papers and war records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeynuts Posted 13 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 13 October , 2021 They must have some records of what where when ? All I would like to clarify is did he serve in Mespot ?? Maybe a trip to Dorchester to the Dorset's museum and ask a few questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawhiri Posted 13 October , 2021 Share Posted 13 October , 2021 (edited) Just to muddy the waters a little further, according to the GRO Indexes there were three Alfred James Jackman births registered in 1894. These are JACKMAN, ALFRED JAMES Mother's maiden name: GARDNER GRO Reference: 1894 M Quarter in STEPNEY Volume 01C Page 429 JACKMAN, ALFRED JAMES Mother's maiden name: BETTINSON GRO Reference: 1894 S Quarter in LISKEARD Volume 05C Page 52 JACKMAN, ALFRED JAMES Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1894 D Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 44 I'm assuming the last of these is your great grandfather's birth. There was a fourth Alfred James Jackman birth registered in 1896, but given these are the only four Alfred James Jackman births registered between 1888 and 1900, it's an almighty coincidence that three of them were registered in the same year. Edited to add that the first of these births can be eliminated as there is a burial record from Tower Hamlets for an Alfred James Jackman aged 15 months, who was buried on 19 February 1895. His age would put him as being born in late 1893, which would be consistent with a birth registration in the first quarter of 1894 in Stepney.

Alisonmallen62 Posted 13 October , 2021 Share Posted 13 October , 2021 Have a look at the Kensington birth Alfred the father and Alfred a child if you dnt mi d Tawhiri please I started last night but not feeling great. It was mentioned previously AJJ was an only child and whilst I saw two brothers I think one died. Have seen 1895 on documents which fitted in.

Tawhiri Posted 13 October , 2021 Share Posted 13 October , 2021 (edited) Searching the GRO Indexes for Jackman births, mother's maiden name Tarling, between 1878 and 1908 actually produces a lot of hits. Looking at where the births have been registered I think there are two distinct families, and it's not clear where the Marylebone birth registration fits in either, as there are also registrations in the same year in both Paddington and Edmonton. Paddington birth registrations: JACKMAN, THOMAS Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1885 D Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 16 JACKMAN, MILDRED ELIZABETH Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1887 D Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 28 JACKMAN, MARTHA LOUISE Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1890 M Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 22 JACKMAN, ALFRED JAMES Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1894 D Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 44 JACKMAN, ROSE ETHEL Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1898 D Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 43 JACKMAN, JOHN WILLIAM Mother's maiden name: TARLIN GRO Reference: 1902 D Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 4 JACKMAN, WILLIAM SAMUEL Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1908 J Quarter in PADDINGTON Volume 01A Page 48 Edmonton birth registrations: JACKMAN, WILLIAM GEORGE Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1885 S Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 360 JACKMAN, ANNIE JANE Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1887 S Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 369 JACKMAN, WALTER GEORGE Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1889 J Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 398 JACKMAN, ALFRED JOHN Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1891 M Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 400 JACKMAN, JAMES FREDERICK Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1893 M Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 428 JACKMAN, ALBERT JOHN Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1897 S Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 402 JACKMAN, FREDERICK JOHN Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1895 J Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 430 JACKMAN, ALBERT ERNEST Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1899 D Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 397 JACKMAN, WINIFRED GRACE Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1902 M Quarter in EDMONTON Volume 03A Page 423 Marylebone birth registration: JACKMAN, THOMAS Mother's maiden name: TARLING GRO Reference: 1887 J Quarter in MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 630 If we do have the right Alfred James Jackman, then he certainly wasn't an only child. According to the 1911 England census there had been seven children born in the marriage, six of who were still alive, so it looks as though the oldest son, Thomas, had died at some point. The two Jackman/Tarling marriages in Paddington and Edmonton both took place in 1884, and there doesn't appear to be an obvious connection between the two sets of spouses as the fathers are all different.

gareth morris Posted 14 October , 2021 Share Posted 14 October , 2021 Just to further muddy the waters. Regarding the forearm tattoos. Immediately after it either says Lots or Dots. if this man only had a couple of dots on his forearms then they most likely wouldn’t be visible on any photos, & as he aged they may not be noticeable as tattoos at all Probably doesn’t help much 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeynuts Posted 14 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 14 October , 2021 Hi everyone Many thanks for all the help and that will give me something to do today . This is a picture of my Grandad Alfred James Jackman and as you can see no Tattoos The mystery Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisonmallen62 Posted 14 October , 2021 Share Posted 14 October , 2021 (edited) Did he definitely live at Braithwaite Place because the 1933 (I think) electoral roll has an Alfred and Elizabeth not Alfred and Rose. I Am confused as two trees on ancestry with different mothers. Both refer to Belsize Road. One is the Kensington birth mentioned above and mother Ellen. The other is Elizabeth.

Monkeynuts Posted 15 October , 2021 Author Share Posted 15 October , 2021 Hi Alison Hope you are feeling a bit better Now you can understand how confused I am getting because of the identical names and possibly birth year there is so much room for error .
