How tantalisingly frustrating the mention of the two young men searching for a Signorina Fernanda but a few years ago

I am bilingual with Spanish and understood most of what was said on the Italian TV clip.....but missed the farmer story completely  I am going back now to see that section! I assume it is on this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bF2tI4Q3TE

There is something that I should mention about our Jackson ancestors in Carluke, which, although may not help, it might help clear up a matter of the "upside down Y" on David Jackson's arm.  We Jackson were Presbyterians and most of the men were members of the Masonic Lodge.  Some of the men would have the sign of the Masonic Lodge tattooed on their arm.  The sign could be mistaken for an upside down Y.  The masonic lodge may keep records.

Hi Monica the man here www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bF2tI4Q3TE

 really we know not with certainty that the 2 young men was Jacksons, but Davide investigated and he knew that really was 2 Jacksons travelling in Italy in same period time...

What about checking the Carluke Gazette archives on and around the dates of Jeanie and Alexander deaths to see if their is any family information in obituary or article.  Where was Alexander living at the time of his death.  If he owned his house or had a will , the records will show executor of his estate, death certificate may list one of the boys.

Hi Behnybaby,

We have had a breakthrough.  Will email the situation.

All great ideas Marie 

I seem to have spent the last few days saying HUGE thank yous to lots of people who have helped with this search.....and today is no different 

Fellow RootsChatter Brian (yokerbrian) very kindly looked up at New Register House the 1920 birth entry we had found for a David Jackson and has confirmed the entry is the correct one 

David was born on 28th APRIL 1920 at 8h. 30m PM at 11 School Lane, CARLUKE, parents Alexande and Jeanie.

The address of School Lane, Carluke corresponds with the address given on Alexader's WW1 service papers.

Brian also confirmed the later births of sons Walter and Hugh, who South Lanarkshire Bereavement Services confirmed as also having been buried in the family lair.

The 1968 death entry for an Alexander Jackson is also the correct one  Alexander died at Strathclyde Hospital, Motherwell. His usual residence was 55 Shieldhill Road, Carluke. His date of death was 2nd February 1968.

Great work Brian
