They had Constance Eveline 1875, Ernest Robert Vivien 1877, Janet Isabel 1879,
Jessie Agnes Lillian 1888, Norman Austin Howatt 1890 and henrietta Marian 1894. So must have some decendants?

Probably not too hard to track some of Grandchildren down. Notice in TROVE newspapers 10/May/1926 referring to the death of above Robert Alexander 10/May/1924 Lots of names of SIL's and daughters.

Thanks everyone.  I now know Jessie ran a business from c 1896 called J Jackson and sons in Brisbane Queensland Australia , furriers. still in existence today was sold in the 1960s when only her grandchildren left..Am trying to contact the firm to see if they still have any contact with the Jackson family...I think this lady wants to"go home" and l hope we can get her there    hahaha
