Amy Johnson Crow, on her blog No Story Too Small, has challenged her fellow bloggers to post 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks. This is week thirty-five.
My great-great-great grandmother, Charlotte Jackman, was born on October 16, 1837 in Woking, Surrey, England. Her parents were Thomas and Susannah Jackman. She was baptized on November 19, 1837.
The 1841 census finds the family in Rushey Green, Lewisham, Kent. Thomas (40) and Susanna (30) are there along with Susanna (8), Charlotte (3), and Maria (1)
The 1851 census shows Thomas (50) and Susan (40), along with Charlotte (13), Maria (11), Julia (4), Eliza (8) and William (2). The family is living in Rushey Green in Lewisham. Thomas is an agricultural labourer.
Charlotte married John Richardson in the first quarter of 1860. She was his second wife, his first having passed away following the birth of their only daughter.
The 1861 census finds John (46) and Charlotte (23) along with Ann (7) and George T (1). John is a Gardener. He is shown as being born in Hartfield, Sussex.
On the 1871 census, John (50) and Charlotte (33) are shown living at Waterloo Place in Lewisham. John is listed as an agricultural labourer. George (11), Susannah (8) and William (5) are scholars. Thomas (3) and Alfred (1) are too young for school.
On the 1881 census, a widowed Charlotte (44) is living at 4 Maybank Cottages with Susannah (18), William (15), Â Alfred (11), Charlotte (8) and Frederick (2). Charlotte is a mangler (laundress). Both Thomas and John passed away sometime between the 1871 and 1881 censuses.
I haven’t been able to find Charlotte on the 1891 census, nor have I found a death record for her. I am not sure if she passed away before the 1891 census or if she remarried.
