The owners of Lackham in the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries ...

The Manor of Lackham IV : 19 th & 20 th century owners
who was enrolled into the Lower School at Marlborough College in 1862 aged 10,
was his son but this is not certain 24 .
John and Uliana’s daughters were Mary Jane Tufnell, Francis Tufnell, Henrietta
Susannah Tufnell, Anne Catherine Tufnell 25 and Charlotte Bonetta Tufnell. The
dates of birth for the daughters are often not known but in Fig. 2 (above) they
are positioned in their likely order of birth, based on internal evidence such as
date of marriage etc.
The daughters were most connected with Lackham, three of them were born or
married or died while the Tufnells lived there; Mary Jane “ a minor” 26
married Lt. Edward Jennings RN 27 “from Walcot, Bath” on December 17 th 1818.
They had six children who survived but the Parish Registers show that Thomas
Robert Jennings was baptised at Lacock but he does not appear in the list of
Jennings children in Burke, no burial record has so far been found either.
The youngest daughter, Charlotte Bonetta, whose birth has already been
noticed in 1818, died the next year 28 at only 4 months old.
In 1823 Francis married the Rev. Robert Young Keays 29 at Lacock. Rev. Keays
was a chaplain in India in the Bombay, now Mumbai presidency, and they had two
sons and one daughter 30 .
