After the brilliant help I got yesterday , hope you wonderful people can do the same again today!
William Jarman b 10/6 1824 in Wigton, Cumberland
and married to a Mary Scott. I would like to find out if he was in the military because he died in South Africa..Pietersburgh I think, and as he was a Veterinary surgeon I thought he could be involved with looking after the horses. I can't trace him on any UK death reg or any overseas ones but I am sure someone will find something.!!
I look forward to all the posts :-)
Many thanks June Jarman

This what that item in the South African entry says:-
Jarman, William ( - 5/1861)
All that is known of this man is that the following notice appeared in the Natal Government Gazette on 29 January 1856.
William Jarman (Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Edinburgh).
Begs most respectfully to intimate to the owners of horses, cattle, etc., that he has COMMENCED PRACTICE in the profession and trusts, by unremitting attention to cases committed to his care to obtain a practice, which it will be his constant study to merit.
Good stabling for sick and lame horses, etc.
Residence: Mr Marshall's Livery & Bait Stables
Church Street
Pietermaritzburg
Nov. 26, 1855
What happened to him after this is not known, other than the fact that in the Natal Government Gazette of 15 July 1856, his name appears on the list of unclaimed letters at the G.P.O. (2). His name does not appear on the list dated 31 August 1956, so these letters must have been claimed. Subsequently on 30 September 1856, his name again appears on the list of unclaimed letters (1).
Mr Marshall on the other hand erected the West End Wellington Hotel next to his livery stable and appears to have prospered.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons could, in 1982 not trace Mr Jarman in their records.
He was unmarried at the time of his death in Pietermaritzburg in May 1861. He therefore had no one to erect a tombstone over his grave in the Commercial Road Cemetery and for this reason it can no longer be traced. His was the first recorded death of a veterinarian in South Africa.
looks as though he skipped out on his wife!
