Jumbo as a young man. Jumbo was born on August 3rd 1913 just outside the village at Stoneylands Farm; he was one of seven children born to Albert and Alice Blackman. One of Jumbo’s elder brothers, Albert George (known as George) lied about his age to go to war.
In 2012, at East Meon Church of England Primary School, Marley Blackman researched the history of his family. These are his notes and the photographs he found. A display panel was created for the History Open Day, and a PDF is attached to this page. The wedding photo of Harry Blackman and Edith Legg was not part of Marley's research. A letter to Meon Matters, published at some point in the early 2000s, is attached as a PDF. Terry Chapman had enclosed a picture of his mother, who was a Blackman.
