Notes

General:

160825:

Yes John Jellard married Lucy Jane Parton and they had 3 children - Annie Sweetland (never married), John Jnr(died on submarine in WW1) and Frank Blaney. John became a master mariner like his father. He died young at 42 a victim of yellow fever outbreak on his ship in New York where he is buried.
Eleanour Coulman, then living in Liverpool, was widowed in 1860 when John Jellard Snr died aboard the Avery in Lyttleton Harbour, NZ. So he came to NZ some 60 years before his grandson Frank Blaney's family arrived.

• Alt. Birth: Bef 16 Apr 1811, Fuge, Dartmouth, Devonshire, England.

• Owner: Co-Owner of several fishing vessels, 1822-1845, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. (Witness)

• Occupation: Sailor on FANNY, Between Oct 1828 and Dec 1832, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

• Occupation: Master of the "Fanny", Bef 1833, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

• Occupation: Master of Merchant Vessels, including the ANGERONA, and Merchant, Between 1833 and 1842, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

• Owner: Launch of the Angerona, 20 Feb 1833, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. (Owner) Jellard's ownership stake was 21 of 64 shares.

• Occupation: Mate and Master of ANGERONA, Between Mar 1833 and Dec 1843, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

• Honors: Received Royal National Lifeboat Institute Gold Medal for the Rescue of crew of the Francis Spaight., 1835, North Atlantic Ocean. The rescue of the crew of the Francis Spaight and "the Custom of the Sea"
In December 1835, John was preparing the Angerona for a trip to Teignmouth with dried fish from the last season, when he was approached by a Captain and Mate needing a trip back to England, as their vessel had been shipwrecked. John was happy to help them out, and in the end they more than paid their way. Halfway across the Atlantic, they came across a dismasted hulk, drifting, with the crew waving from all that was left from the poop deck. It was the Francis Spaight, a large (368 tonnes) merchant barque that had been carrying timber from St John's to Limerick, much of it stacked high on deck. The ship had run into a storm and, destabilised by the deck cargo, she capsized. The quick-thinking Captain and Mate had cut the masts loose, which enabled the ship to right itself, though all the deck cargo, water and provisions, had been lost. Now 20 days adrift, without food, water or shelter, the crew had resorted to "the custom of the sea" (cannibalism) and following the customary drawing of lots, blood had been shed to preserve the life of the remaining crew, who called out for help across the raging seas. John immediately asked for volunteers from his crew and three men stepped forward. John passed command of the Angerona to his passenger Captain, who was to maintain the ship in position, prevent collision with the hulk and facilitate rescued crew to be lifted on board - indeed without his presence it's doubtful that the rescue could have been executed. John and his fellow oarsmen stripped off their heavy jackets and shirts and rowed the gig across to the hulk and were able to take half the crew on board, depositing them safely on the Angerona. John asked for volunteers for a second trip, and the men agreed again, returning the remaining men to safety, despite heavy seas that risked swamping their tiny craft. All of the 11 remaining from the original crew of 15 had been rescued and were welcomed on board.

The crew of the Francis Spaight, from a sketch in a contemporary pamphlet, 1837
For his bravery and leadership of the rescue, John was awarded the RNLI Gold Medal, the organisation's highest honour, while the other oarsmen were awarded Silver Medals. The commendation read: "after the crew were on board his vessel, he and his crew behaved with the greatest humanity and kindness". The Angerona resumed its heading for England and landed the crew of the Francis Spaight in Falmouth. The rescue made headlines around the world, not least for the cannibalism which had been admitted to, as well as the gallantry shown by the rescuers. On the crew's return to Ireland, the owner Francis Spaight raised money for the men and the families of those who had died. None of the Francis Spaight's crew were prosecuted, though the cabin boy's mother (he had been first to die) was bound over to stay away from the ship's captain.

RNLI Gold Medal for lifesaving 1824
From the newspaper coverage, it is clear that the "Custom of the sea" was accepted at this time, given the frequency of such dangers at sea, in particular for deck-loaded ships: in 1835, 49 such ships were wrecked or lost at sea and all hands were lost on 16 of them. Four years later, in 1839, the case of the Francis Spaight, amongst others, was used by an MP in parliament to secure legislation to ban the practice of deck-loading.

• Residence: Occupation of old Sweetland home on the Downs, 1836, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. There is evidence that this house actually was left to the three daughters of William Coulman in his will and that at least two of them occupied it with their respective spouses for a certain period of time. This house was originally given by Deed of Gift to Ann Carter (Hill-Sweetland-Morry) by her father, Robert Carter, was either attached to his house or immediately adjacent to it. It was transferred by William to his three daughters in 1836.

• Residence: Occupied the "Down's House" but by questionable entitlement, After 5 Jun 1836, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 190720:
From Robert Carter's diaries
Sunday, 5 June 1836
" A light appeared at the house on the Downs last night. On enquiring today found Mrs. Henry Winser was there to take possession of it as having claim thereto."
The person in question is of course Ann né e Coulman, wife of Henry Winsor. She was a granddaughter of Anne Carter, the daughter of the original Robert Carter and her claim was contentious as there was a large number of descendants of both Robert Carter and indeed of his daughter Anne who would have had equal claim on the Carter premises on the Downs.
The property was claimed by William Coulman, Ann' s father, by right of his wife Elizabeth Ann né e Hill' s entitlement as a daughter of Anne Carter and Capt. Samuel Hill. But Elizabeth Ann was not the only child of Anne Carter-Hill-Sweetland-Morry to have a rightful claim on this property in the absence of a will granting it to just one or several of them (none has ever been found nor even mooted). These included her three sons by her second marriage, Lieutenant Henry Sweetland, and William Sweetland, J.P., and Benjamin Sweetland, J.P.
Above and beyond that, the Downs property was also claimable by Anne Carter-Hill-Sweetland-Morry' s siblings and their heirs, including the lines of Judge William Carter and Robert Carter, J.P. (father of the diarist). William Coulman was therefore presuming very much when he divided the Downs property amongst his three daughters, Ann, Eleanor and Elizabeth (SDC Vol 3 Fol 7-8 William Coulman to Ann Winsor Eleanor Jillaird [sic] Eliza Coulman 10-11-1836). No doubt the diarist was aware of this, whether he intended to contest this claim or not.
In due course the property was occupied by Ann [Coulman] Winsor' s sister, Eleanor, and her husband, Capt. John Jellard, though their occupancy seems to have been very brief. A full account of this property, its history and its decline into ruins is contained in the MA Thesis of Duncan Williams complete at MUN in 2019 and entitled: A Large House On The Downs: Household Archaeology And Middle-Class Gentility In Early 19th-Century Ferryland, Newfoundland.

Saturday, 11 March 1837:
"The following is a copy of a notice stuck up against Mr. Wright's fencewritten except for the last four words. 'FOR SALE On the Downs a quantity of Hay which will be sold for cash or fence stuff taken in payment by application to John Jellard or Henry Winser - Ferryland 7th February 1837. During the absence of the above parties it will be delivered on application by Mr. Maurice Brazil."

This shows that Jellard was taking seriously his possession of the Downs property, had mowed the hay and intended to fence it in. He was partnered with Henry Winser as Masters of his vessel, the ANGERONA, co-owned with James Howe Carter. The vessel had just left for the ice, presumably with both Masters on board since they were noted as absent at this time.

Interestingly, in his own words, found in his John Jellard's Journal, he states that his date of marriage was the 23rd of August:

"Saturday, 23rd [1856], This day twenty two years I was married. It is a long time to look forward but nothing to look back."at this point in the voyage they were nowhere near the international date line and hence this could not have been the reason for the discrepancy. Moreover, he had the number of years since his marriage wrong since it would have been 21, not 22.

There is also a plaque in Shaldon, Devon, commemorating a circumnavigation by home-grown master, John Jellard on the locally built AVERY in 1856-57:

The plaque is above the slipways of the old Henry Follet's Yard - where the "Avery" was built - the ship that circumnavigated the world 1856-1857 with Shaldon Master Mariner John Jellard.

231017:
Duncan Williams, who is an archeology grad student at MUN conducting a dig and a historical reexamination of ownership and tenancy in the so-called "Downs House", believed to have been built either by or for the Carters, is of the opinion that John Jellard was a tenant in this house based on documents that exist at The Rooms. I speculated to him that the house (which was mentioned by my grandfather as having existed and having been the venue of some fancy balls in the time of his grandmother) may have been built in the late 1750s to replace the house of Robert Carter, the immigrant, that was destroyed by fire. He thinks at this time that is a posibility worth examinig further. (NB: Later, based on dating, this proved to be incorrect. The house he excavated was built much later).

291222:
A researcher on Ancestry (Jonathan Turner) approached me concerning the date and place of birth of John Jellard. I told him I had nothing at all to support the suggestion I had made that he was born in Shaldon except that several documents I had seen referred to him as "John Jellard of Shaldon". He had another source on FamilySearch that had his birth in Fuge, Blackawton, which are both suburbs of Dartmouth. Later he showed me the evidence he had for this and it indicated a birth date of 1811 which conflicts with his Merchant Marine record of 1835 which would suggest an earlier date of 1806. I also noted that parents of the same names (George and Mary) of the John born in Fuge or Blackawton in 1811 are shown with another child named John Perring Jellard born in 1816 and christened in the non conformist church in Dartmouth in 1820. This suggests to me that he has found an incorrect birth record for the mariner as it appears that child died and was replaced with a later son of the same name. My guess is that the mariner's birth record remains undiscovered so far.

190723:
Following further exchanges of information earlier this month I now agree that Jonathan Turner did find the correct birth/baptismal record for John Jellard. Fuge is actually not a village but a country home just outside of Dartmouth and this was where his family resided when he was born.

Following other information given to me by Jonathan, I purchased a copy of "John Jellard's Journal" from a used book seller in the UK and it arrived yesterday and I read it and extracted additional information for the family tree file.
