Jackson Bampton

[Jeffrey]

Hello,
Is any one out there researching 'JACKSON' of Bampton?

I have a Mary JACKSON who married John DENT of Kings Meaburn in 1776 at Temple Sowerby.

The only birth on the IGI which fits in is Mary Jackson born Bampton in 1753. It lists her father as John and mother as Mary.

Has any one any information on Jacksons of Bampton please.

I am not researching this family at all ...

BUT

there is a Jackson family in CR headed by a Simon Jackson and Elinor Dent.  Simon was the miller (switching between CR and MM mills).   In 1754 Simon was accused of rape and later absconded from gaol.  (The then constable and the alleged victim were related I think.)

It seems that life in CR may have become untenable for his numerous family.  I think at least two of his sons left CR.  I haven't traced all the family but there was also a daughter Mary christened in 1744.

Most likely there is no connection with your Bampton Jacksons - Dent and Jackson being common names and all that.  Just thought I would mention it.

Very interesting! I do have Dents around Crosby Ravensworth and an Elinor or two. Can you give me any more information about them and any more dates? How is it your know about that?

Also what does MM stand for?

Thanks

I'm doing a one-place study of CR and so Simon and Elinor get included for that.

MM = Maulds Meaburn.

Simon and Elinor's marriage takes place on 16 Jan 1735/6 at CR.   Children John, Margaret, Elinor, Anthony, Mary, Simon, Robert, Elinor, Sarah are christened between 1736 and 1752.

I don't have Simon's parentage.   There were Jacksons in CR and Orton.  The bondsmen for his appearance at sessions were Henry Jackson of Lodge (I assume a relative - cousin?) and Anthony Dent (I assume his brother-in-law).

I have 2 possible contenders for Elinor but favour the Elinor christened in 1708 to Anthony Dent of Trainlands and Margaret [John or Simp]son.   She receives a couple of bequests in wills.  Her cousin is the other contender.

Simon was renting Crosby Mill between 1733 and 1746 (possibly beyond) but also seems to have rented the Meaburn Mill between 1736 and 1739.

The stuff about the rape is available from a2a.  There may be more information than the references give.

Thanks for the information. Fascinating!
Don't know how I didn't remember MM being Maulds Meaburn.

Just something coming to mind - was there a Henry Dent living at Meaburn Mill in the 1800's or was that Kings Meaburn.

Looking at my Dents although some say born Meaburn I am sure  it is Kings Meaburn which comes under Morland. However they are so close that they could be related.

I have an Eleanor born 1768 to a Matthew & Thamar. Names often follow in families so will have to try and get around to tracing this family further back. There are so many Dents!

If you should come across anything interesting on Kersey, Hanson, Nicholson, Wilkinson or Hodgson  in you CR or Orton study I would be grateful if you would let me know.

Just a long shot I don't suppose you have anything on Abraham Hersey (Kersey) of Woodfoot Householder poor bur 1749 Feb 6

I am stuck with these Kersey's.

Thanks for all your help.

I don't have anything in my database about a Henry Dent around the time you mentioned.  I think a reference to Meaburn usually refers to Kings Meaburn not MM.   I think the conjunction of surnames is just a coincidence.

I also don't have any Kersey Hersey Hansen entries in the database.  (I haven't got every one yet and I only go upto the early 1800s.  It takes a long time to cover a single surname and only a few are complete.)  On the other hand Nicholson, Wilkinson and Hodgson are very common names!

Hi Judy

Probably not on your IGI entry but John & Mary Jackson where "of Stanegarth" not sure if this would be a farm.

I have just added some Salkeld - CR & MM Parish Register Baptisms 1813 - 1884 nearly 70 entries to my rootschat website fruits of a good day out at Kendal Records Office last week

Hope the above helps

Regards

Hi Graham,
Thanks for the information.
In fact I have just looked "Stanegarth" up on streetmap and it still exists. It looks to be nothing in the middle of nowhere so I think it will be a farm too.

You said about some entries on your rootschat website - how would I go about opening your website?
