Am trying to find any report of the death of Arthur Jackman who died on December 18th 1825 when apparently falling from the mast of a collier in East Portlemouth, believed to be buried in the church of St Winwaloe, East Portlemouth. I have not been able to get to East Portlemouth to check whether there is a grave. Any help will be much appreciated.

There's a record of a memorial at St Winwalloe on the Find a Grave site

According to http://www.our4bears.net/parishes/East_Portlemouth/EPortlemouth_burC.htm he did indeed fall from the mast of a ship. I couldn't find a newspaper report.

Thank you Deborah & Ann for your replies, and for drawing my attention to the two sites mentioned, I had completely forgot the graves site. Another senior moment.
