John Vlieland and Jane Waters

From bathing machine to an early entry in the blog  is easy enough .

But then it will take some time to find something out.
The auction of a bathhouse and a bathing machine in 1816 by a mister Seaman( no first name) led me to another man with the name Seaman.

The name of John Seaman pops-up  is much later in 1838 as a witness at the marriage of John Vlieland to Jane Frances Waters.

Jane Francis Water is the daughter of William Waters and Ann Covell.
She is born in 1802 in Great Yarmouth
.
She marries Michael Martin .



They have a son Michael  Covell Martin.He is named at the marriage of Jane and John Vlieland




Michael Martin dies and Jane marries John Vlieland .


John is a bachelor of full age and sailor and she is a widow and dressmaker.
We still do not know who this John Vlieland is .although he states that his father is Yarhan Vlieland.
Which could well be Jerome Vlieland.

Witnesses are John Seaman and Margaret Wright.So we go and try to find out more about them.

We do not find much about John Vlieland .Where he is born is still a guess.


On 28 Feb 1842 above John dies aged 45 years Mariner resident "on the Walls" @ Gt Yarmouth. (death certificate)

Burial at dissenters graveyard, Market Street, Great Yarmouth, Grave 609, 8th March 1842 aged 45 years.

census of 1841

In the census of 1841 he lives with, regarding  their age , his sisters Susan and Mary Vlieland  in Chapelstreet later Kings Street 

Jane Vlieland however had to go to prison.






So we have to search the witnesses and John Vlieland
