commercial travellers 19th/20th

Dear Gilly,

I've just seen that you had a grandfather who was a commercial traveller named William Jackson.  I, too, had a grandfather named William Jackson and the only thing I know about him is that he was a commercial traveller and may have been on the stage.  Could we share the same ancestor ?  If you have any information about him, please let me know, thanks.  Feverfew66
