Morning Angus

Col Jackson was indeed the Provost of Inverurie and there is a fabulous painting of him in the Town Hall which I've seen courtesy of my cousins who still live in High Street, Inverurie.

The following is from the family tree I started in 1992 with Emily Laing - another branch of the Jackson family. Emily was the daughter of Flora & John Adam.

Hi Angusg

It's been quite interesting reading these notices. Came across this quite by accident. My mother Beatrice Jane JACKSON is the daughter of Alexander Forbes Nares JACKSON. I am the daughter of Beatrice along with a brother.

I did a bit of research myself whilst I lived in the UK in the 90s and spoke with relatives in Scotland, visited them and they helped me with finding all the information I could get.

David Jackson, well, he's (unfortunately) a second cousin and did us all an injustice by informing the ROBERTSONS of British Colombia that we (all family members) were dead - including his own sisters! THere are still quite a few members of our extended family alive and well in NZ whilst my family live in Australia since 1996.

I'm curious to know who Lucy2 and Janette are?
