Jane Jolliffe Ackerman

Hi

The information on Jane and Henry was taken directly from the marriage certificates i.e. the history centre's microfilm copies of the original register they hold. I didn't find Jane but only had time to look at Bridport and Burton so she could be somewhere else.

Death certificates are notorious for those kind of mistakes, it never ceases to amaze me what little children know about their parents, mine are pretty much ok on birthdays but ask them a year for anyone other than me, their father or granny and they'd be stumped.. my friends brother gave the wrong maiden name for his mother and it took ages to fix.

I was going to go down to Dorchester on Tuesday but couldn't because of the snow!

It's raining and sleeting here now, but 10 odd miles up the road in Shaftesbury and Gillingham they are snowed in... oooh... forget that it's snowing really heavy again.

Morning Jendor or evening for you I guess  Thanks for your input again and efforts on my behalf.  We get snow here in the Winter but it never lasts long and the last fall that closed things down was years ago.  Might 3 to 6 cms usually and it melts quickly.  View across the Southern alps is always great in the Winter.    To Jane as I've said the only record I've seen of her birth is on IGI with the rest of the family.  She like Henry was born at Burton Bradstock and was four years his senior being born in 1834.  "Tis a mystery as to where records of her birth are.  She certainly was because we are      History girl has contacted me by personal message board so she may not have seen your comment re the marriage of the Williams.  I presume that if i make a reply to her on the PM it will go to her  PM.  Amateur at computers and programmes here.   Hope you didn't get snowed in     BELLBIRD

Hi Bellbird,

At a quick (very!) glance, there are 3 possibilities that I've seen on IGI (www.familysearch.org):

1) Jane Ackerman
Birth:     1840      Bridport, Dorset, England
Parents:
     Father:     Henry Ackerman
     Mother:     Martha Chalker

2) Jane Akerman
Christening:     02 NOV 1843      Broadwinsor, Dorset, England
Parents:
     Father:     Samuel Akerman    Family
     Mother:     Sarah

3) Jane Ackerman
Birth:     1846      Mosterton, Dorset, England
Parents:
     Father:     David Ackerman
     Mother:     Selina

You might also check the Dorset OPC site (http://www.opcdorset.com/) for the parishes listed here to see if they have marriage records, and IF they contain the couple you're looking for...otherwise you might have the unenviable task (trust me, I've done this one before...) of checking EVERY Dorset parish that has an OPC to see if you can find her.  That being said, using ctrl-f to find a surname is a heck of a lot easier than ordering and searching parish registers which are hand-written!!!

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Patricia

Hi Kalodyne  Thanks for your message, I have Jane on other sites with her husband, JPTG Webb.  She was born in Burton Bradstock as was her brother who also came out to NZ.  Their relationship here was not amicable ending up in court when he had come down to Wellington and threatened to and tried" to do for her" according to the newspaper report on Papers Past NZ.   Unfortunately she is buried in the same grave as one of her daughters and no details on a grave stone, had great trouble finding her as cemetery kept saying they didn't have her.  They found her in their records eventually.  Henry's gravestone has that he was born in Burton Bradstock in 1838, which confirms the entry in IGI and Jane was 4 years older and born in 1834.  I guess Jane was missed out on the christening, maybe it was just afdter their move.   Apparently their parents were asked to leave Bridport which they did and some years later returned to have more children there.  Don't know the cause of the reason for them being asked to leave.    I have been contacted by a member of the Ackerman family in England and they and other family members were very surprised to learn of Ackermans coming out to NZ.

Hi Jendor,
Also tracing the Ackerman Line, I agree with you 100%.
Additionally I have (Elizabeth,William Joseph Joan Edward)'s Father Lawrence 1746-1797 as the son of John Akerman 1717-? and his mother Jane Travis.
Further Generation back, the afore mentioned John Akerman's parents were Richard Ackerman and Mary Down.

Hello fellow researchers and thank you for all your input in tracing Ackerman's. Very interesting reading and much of it confirming up names and details I have traced already purely with using the "internet"!

My gt grandmother was Elizabeth Susan Halfyard (n.Ackerman), thus my gt gt grandfather Henry Jolliffe Ackerman. The "cake" and celebration in the photo Bellbird has written about, has me wondering if that may have been the occasion of Henry and Susan's 50th wedding anniversary? A house once occupied (owned?) by Henry still stands today at Clareville, Carterton in the Wairarapa, albeit it has been modernised inside and recently on the market. I have an idea Henry may have done farming from there.

There is little else I can add. I have some old photos in albums which I'm sure has Ackerman's in them, but being unlabelled I just don't know.

Regards & thanks again..
