My grandfather was William Vincent Jackson 1882-1954 he was born in Sydney and his parents are William (John) Henry Jackson and his mother Florence Tuckwell. I can't find marriage or deaths. They were here as they had a son but not on any passenger lists or BMD.
Thanks

Hi Marilyn
I can't seem to find his birth on the NSW bdm. Do you have his birth certificate? Where did he die in 1954?
Cheers

You are looking for KEALY's - is there a connection with Alice?
I have a Katherine Bowe 1821-1887 married to Patrick Kealy 1817-1901 both born in Kilkenny and migrated to australia so i would love to find a connection.
Marilyn
Perhaps with a little more information about your William Vincent we may be able to help you further.

Hi All
It strikes me as an unusual coincidence, too, that the name of the first child to WILLIAM JACKSON and ALICE KEALY was
MONICA FLORENCE
reg. 15651 in 1914. QLD.

Hi cando,
William Thomas was a brother.
He has a ww2 record also and he lists his NOK as William Jackson.
This is an infant death in NSW. Bit doubtful, but worth posting
In 1906 JACKSON SYDNEY F. father WILLIAM H. mother FLORENCE SYDNEY reg. 20855
ADDING, just saw you had the ww2 link already up

Death Qld
1952/3988
JACKSON William
Father William Henry Mother Florence
So you are looking for the marriage of the parents of this William who died in 1952 and according to the age on the burial record, was born c1877. Do you have this death certificate?
Cheers
Cando

Thanks Cando
I had that as I knew all those jacksons as Alice was my grandmother Thomas my father and Patricia my mother. It is the jackson tuckwell connection that I can't find. I have nothing on them except their name off Williams death cert.
Marilyn
Yes I have his death cert
Do you think there could be any connection to Sydney or is 19 years too long to behaving children. I don't have any brother or sisters for william Vincent (1882)
-
Firstly the information on a death certificate is only as good as the knowledge of the informant and is often inaccurate.
Nineteen years is certainly not too long a period over which a woman may bear children.
The dates you gave us for William 1882-1954 were not quite correct. They are c1877-1952. The only Wm Vincent I can find on any records is for Wm Vincent b. 1916.
I have searched very thoroughly in NSW even using just the given names for William, Florence and son William. Nothing. There is no JACKSON/TUCKWELL marriage in NSW. Of course they may not have been married in Australia and there is also the possibility that William was not born in Sydney. Are you saying that William b. 1877 was also William Vincent?
Cheers

yes it was 1952 I just checked my printout from Toowoomba Cemetery his birthdate I got from his marriage cert. I might purchase that Sydney Jackson birth cert and see if william is a sibling. I have most certs as source and passenger lists and cemetery records.

Yes I have death cert of William Vincnt and his marriage cert to Alice.

I suppose you are aware you can purchase transcriptions of certificates in NSW...a cheaper and quicker option. Saves a few dollars on purchasing a certified certificate.

It would appear that the date of birth for William is not the same on his marriage certificate as the burial record. I wonder why his death registration on the Qld index and the burial record have only recorded him as William. Was is full name on the death certificate?
Cheers

You are so good at this. I've been spending hours and getting nowhere. Death cert only has William Jackson but father is William Henry. Thanks for tip on transcriptions this is nearly half price I have been paying. These are the things I need to know.

Hi Mj 53

You can request a PARTIAL Transcription if you are only seeking to learn one aspect of a record.

Hi again Mj 53
You will get the best results from the Rchat group if you give the most accurate and detailed information possible in the first place.
Sometimes it may seem tedious to type it out, but, in the long run, searchers will be saved the time-consuming business of seeking information in the wrong direction or which is already known. It saves helpers from covering old ground all over again. :D
Certificate details are a case in point.
It is surprising how small things do matter in the overall picture.
