Title: Jackson -- Wath On Dearne / Bolton On Dearne
Post by: mgc on Tuesday 19 May 15 20:36 BST (UK)
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...

Mike

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
