Could SKS possibly find my JACKSON family in West Witton in 1841:
William aged 77
Elizabeth aged 74
Any information would be great as this is the only census this couple could appear on.
If it's not too much trouble I would also be grateful for 1841 details of their daughter and her family, also West Witton, as follows:
Richard SPENCE age 32
Catherine SPENCE (nee JACKSON) age 35
Elizabeth 8
John 6
William 4
Richard 2
Any help much appreciated :)

Hello
I have an Elizabeth Jackson born sometime around 1757, married Leonard Tessemond in West Witton. Any match with your family?

Hi Bec,
Thanks for your message.
I don't have your Elizabeth in my tree at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a connection.
I can't see a likely baptism on IGI for Elizabeth in West Witton but there is a baptism in Spennithorne on 31 May 1757 father Henry JACKSON. Spennithorne is only about 5 miles away from West Witton.
The earliest JACKSON I have so far is William that married Ann COTTON in West Witton on 12 Nov 1751 - this William may be a brother to Henry above.
I will certainly keep this possibility in mind when researching this branch of the family.
All the best

I have a Catherine Jackson who married Thomas Fairbank in 1779 in West Witton.
She had at least 7 daughters and I think she may have been born approx 1760 . Have no idea who her parents were ... any help greatly appreciated :)
