Preview:As family historians will know, most of our ancestors will have led humdrum but hard working lives with the occasional one escaping by joining the Armed ones to find adventure, or being caught for what we would now regard as a misdemeanour and sent to some distant land and eventually dying there, but, sometimes we come across somebody whose life turned out to be quite different.
This is the story of George, the son of John and Lydia CHARMAN, born in Sullington in 1814. The family came from a long line of CHARMANs dating hack to the 16th century at Thakeham. John was a labourer, but was recorded as a pauper at various periods during his life. In 1814 all of his six children are recorded as being either in the workhouse or boarded out to other villagers.
