Jackson- Tedavnet Parish?

[Keesa]

Seeking information about my g. grandfather Robert Jackson, his family and origins in Ireland, possibly Tedavnet Parish in Co. Monaghan. He was born abt. 1822/23 and subsequently emigrated to Canada by abt. 1840. Any and all information gratefully received and acknowledged

Dear Keesa

I'm also looking for Jacksons from same neck of woords. My great great great grandfather William Connolly married an Elizabeth Jackson who i think was born around 1808 in Co Monaghan.

I know they lived in Ematris Parish for a while in 1860s and had at least 2 sons. William who went to Australia and James (my gt gt grandfather ) who came to Glasgow.

I have no further details other than what I have mnanaged to get from Griffiths valuation.

Do you think there might be any link ?

Thanks

Ann

Hello Ann - I too am operating on information  from Griffiths valuation. Just happened to notice the name Robert Jackson which was my g.grandfather's name - a flimsy thread at best. Apart from that I have no evidence that he came from Co. Monaghan. I am told that there are, or have been Jacksons in every county of Ireland. You at least have info about your ancestor's origins. At this point I am unable say if there might be a connection
Cheers

Hi Keesa

I reckon that my lot were from ydnavet originally but can't prove at mo. leave it with me and if i find anything out I'll let you know. The key doc is finding William Connolly and Elziabeth Jackson's marriage cert.

They were both C Of I so that should narrow it down a wee bit.

if I find anything out I'll let you know

Cheers

Hi Ann
The Church of Ireland has a very extensive website. Just google Church of Ireland. I also will let you know if I find anything on my ancestors.
Good Luck
