Does your friend not know where her grandfather was born/lived before the army?

No, sorry she doesn't. The last I can trace him is on his wife's death cert 1962, Margaret Jackson aged 39.
His occupation is still a Sergeant. Home address: 6 Pear Tree Croft, Longton, Lancashire.
He had 3 sons under the age of 6 that went onto be raised by their uncle on their Mothers side. The boys lost touch with their Father.

Father: Thomas William Jackson, occupation: Forestry Worker of Foundry Worker.
The surname Bulmer is a DNA link.

For consideration: The father on the marriage record could be invented. Occupation sounds like two different jobs.    Unless you can't make out the writing? Did you mean to say "or" rather than "of"?

So, the Bulmer surname is a definite DNA match?

Occupation should say Forestry or Foundry Worker. Hard to read but I believe it says Foresty Worker.

Bulmer surname is defiantly a match at 26cM

I am helping a friend try to find her paternal Grandfather, Thomas William Jackson. I have his marriage cert 1955 giving his age as 22 born c1933, occupation: Sergeant, home address: Military Hospital, Catterick Garrison, Yorkshire. Father: Thomas William Jackson, occupation: Forestry Worker of Foundry Worker.

I have built a tree on ancestry who have DNA matches with my friend on her Paternal side.
The closest match I could find for her Grandfather is a Thomas W Jackson born 1927, Easingwold. Father Herbert Jackson b 1895 Mother: Mary Jane Bulmer b 1895. The surname Bulmer is a DNA link.

The birth date & father does not match with the marriage cert.

Any help greatly received.

Please, would anyone know where I might find the marriage for George Healer to Esther Dawson 1846 Easington.

Cannot find it anywhere online transcribed. Hoping not to send for a copy.

Many thanks
