Mick Jagger's great grandfather (David Jagger) was born in Morley, West Yorkshire, Yorkshire in 1846 and arrived in Whitehaven, in 1860s, to work as a printer / compositor.


He was married three times in Whitehaven and his first wife, Emma Dobson, died aged 24, his second wife, Margaret Kitchin who came from Cleator died aged 22. David's third wife was Sidwell Elizabeth Hodge (nee Ingram ca. 1847), who was a widow with a young daughter (Mary) and was Cornish-born, having arrived in Whitehaven when her father, John Ingram (bapt.) 14 Feb 1813 at Gwinear, Cornwall. He was a tin mining engineer, came to the town to work in the coal mines.

David and Sidwell were married in 1879 and just a year later produced baby David Ernest, Mick’s grandfather. [1]

Mick's grandfather, David Ernest Jagger, was born at Whitehaven in 1880. He moved to Derbyshire where he became a schoolmaster and married Harriett Fanshawe of Chesterfield in 1908.

Their son, Basil Fanshawe Jagger, known as "Joe", Mick's father,born 1913, was also a teacher and married Eva Ensley Mary Scutts at Dartford, Kent, in 1940. Mick was born in 1943[2]



Notes on John Ingram

edit

John Ingram was married to an Elizabeth Arthur on the 11th Feb 1865 at Gwinear.

I found 2 candidates for Elizabeth...

  • Elizabeth Arthur who was baptized : 21 Dec 1823 dau of Joseph and Margaret.
  • Elizabeth Arthur who was baptized: 25 Nov 1821. dau of John Henry Arthur b: ABT 1805. I believe that this Elizabeth married John Eva b: ABT 1826 in Gwinear, Cornwall, England


I believe that John Ingrams's parents were Thomas Ingram & Sidwell Michell who were married 7 December 1809 [1] (Phillimore marriages for Gwinear ... ... ... 1560-1812.)
