Holmes and Maryanne Holmes (Frances's mother and sister). James would have been 38 at marriage; Frances 22. Below is the death notice for James in the Times of March 8 1842.
On the 1851 Census has been found:
There are some errors of transcription: Sophia C. should be Sophia E. and William S. should be William L. Also, William was James and Frances M. Man's first cousin once removed. Note for Elizabeth Sophia: on the 1881 Census - Elizabeth Sophia Man is living with her "cousin" - Elizabeth Man, widow, at 15, Alderbert Terrace in Lambeth, Surrey. But, this Elizabeth, it turns out, is the widow of Henry Garnet Man son of Peter Bruels Man. Elizabeth Sophia was alive at the time of the 1891 census. Edward Man (James' brother) became a partner in the firm with his father in 1805. The company at that point was called James Man and Son. James became a partner in his father's and brother's brokerage firm in 1808 at which point the firm became known as James Man and Sons. On the death of James Man senior in 1823, as required by law, the firm was known as Edward and James Man. (Up until 1870 the law required that the name of a partnership had to list all the partners). By 1870 the firm was known as E. D. & F. Man standing for the two brothers Edward Desborough and Frederick and has remained the same name until the compant split and the financial publicly traded company became The Man Group. The commodity trading company retained E. D & F. Man as its name. The partnership of Edward and James Man was dissolved in 1827 when James Man started his own business as a wholesale ironmonger and copper nail manufacturer with premises in Brick Hill Lane off upper Thames Street. (see House of Man p. 51). No marriage for James Nisbet Man can be found. A reference to a 'Miss Frances Man' found in E. Garnet Man's school boy diary has created some interesting comments from Ed Man. |
