Glamorganshire / Re: Rufus Jarman researcher?

Hi, Lynda - and thank you very much for posting these fascinating details. I'm really interested to see how she changes her mind regarding the legacies.
She was a very wealthy woman and, even after her charitable distributions, Major Chapman's children should have been 'much advantaged'!
I gather from what you've written that these were the people who were the subject of the executors' search?
Would love to hear any more details.
Could I ask how and where you obtained the will?
Thanks again.

Hi, Lynda - are you sure it's the right Rupert (tho' it's an uncommon name in Australia)? Working as a tanner was - I think -  very far down the socio-economic scale -- simply because of the smells and the chemicals used. As I understand it, it was an awful job.

 I find it hard to imagine an 'announcement of marriage' for a tanner -- it's rather like a rabbitoh or a station hand announcing their marriage in The (London)Times.

Could I help --  living in Oz?

To know the beneficiaries of Ann Jarman's will would explain a whole lot of puzzles that I've had , trying to untangle the family tree.

Strength to your arm!

Lynda hi - I've had a bit of luck -Found in my records a newspaper cutting headed SLOUGH/ Death and Burial of Miss Jarman. (dated by hand April 1891).
Mr W J Beadel MP for Brentwood was present, and further on were mentioned Mr Reginald Beadel  and Mr Rupert Beadel as being at the Langley Church.

No indication of what paper it came from - but clearly was local

Hi Lynda - I'm a descendant (Australian) of Elizabeth Appolonia's half-brother, and am fascinated by the fact that Ann Jarman's will was still being executed more than 40 years after her death.
Do you have any idea why?
Can the original will be accessed?

The last mention of any Australian descendants of the Jarmans is in a document dated 1911 -- probably not much use to you.

I can follow it up for you - but not for a couple of weeks.  I'm a bit time-short at present

I too am interested in the Rufus Jarman who was said to have drowned in front of Rosenau at Datchet.  Clearly this is not true.
In fact the inscription placed in the Datchet church by Boykett Jarman's eldest daughter, Anne indicates that it was Egbert who drowned there on 15th August 1848 aged 25.

I am descended from their half-brother John Charles FitxJohn Hall
