Hi Rai.
Reference Jabez England. I have spent hours on the web. But there doesn’t seem to be anything about the chap only what you have written.
Also with a name like England it just about throws everything to do with England as in country into play, but i will keep looking. I don't suppose you have anything else on him.

Hi Littlehand,
The name ENGLAND is a rght bugger when researching family history as you state, but have found a few more notes,
Jabez England father Charles England of Alderbury Wilts, mother Elizabeth Betsey Mona Oak,
He joined the 32nd Rgt 2 April 1869, and transferred to the 58th 24th march 1878, he was discharged at Netley Army Hospital 6 April 1880.
On the 1901 census his address is given as Newport Union Workhouse as Labourer Superintendent.

Where he dies in 1913.
