I am seeking to make contact with any Jackson or Jackson descendant who claims descent or is knowledgeable of their descent specifically from the Wath Upon Dearne and/or Bolton Upon Dearne area.
I'm in the US; a Jackson descendant, and am in contact with Jackson's here in the US. It is only just recently that I am more or less convinced of Jackson roots most specifically in the Wath area.
As they most often are, my fingers are crossed...

My gt grandmother was Clara Jackson (1905-1981) she lived on vicar road in Wath on Dearne, her father was William Jackson & mother was Ada Wright. She married Frederick Dyson in 1925 at Wath parish church.

My 4x great-grandfather, William Jackson, married a certain Martha Sidney at Bolton on Dearne in early July 1813. I am fairly certain that he was born at Wath in 1792, and that his father was a certain John Jackson. I am also fairly certain that this John Jackson married Hannah Wilson in 1780, at Wath... and I am also suspecting that this John Jackson was likewise born at Wath, and that his father was a Thomas Jackson.
Thanks for all your input and help. Happily, the Wath BMD Registers are as intact as they seem to be!
Mike
