David JACKSON RASC Italy 1944/45

[suanj]

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

I was looking at that possible death last night....could well be. Although one day out on birth day, it may just be down to who reported the death.

There are also a number of possible deaths in Scotland.

suanj,

If your contact in London can acquire this death certificate it should give the spouse (if any) and the parents, perhaps a child if it was one of his children who reported the death.  Do you intend purchasing this cert?

I went back to Wilton Cemetery today and checked the lair details that Monica was given. I can confirm that there is no headstone for that lair.

Hi John, I will purchase the birth certificate, and I wish ask to my italian friend in London, if he can purchase the death certificate of David Jackson died in Camden the dec 1994, because I think that is our David Jackson .... it is no a coincidence the same birthdate, and in effect David given a Bermondsey address in 1944... so London... I found also probable marriage record in Hampstead, London in post war time... frankly I believe it could be our David...
 I know not where to search for the obituary, but maybe in some newspaper London area it could be a obit abt this David Jackson... it could be very helpful...

Thanks a lot,
suanj

  A happy ending and concluding post from me today!

I have sent via PM further details to Suanj but thought anyone following this story might want to know.

I have been on the phone today with a nephew of David Jackson who is in touch with David's descendants. Hopefully, a happy ending to Davide's search for information about his father David.

I think we have gone as far as we can now on RootsChat - brilliant result with the help of so many people
