Dr Robert Jackson - Thursby 1827
« on: Monday 12 July 10 07:16 BST (UK) »
Hello

Does anyone have any information about a Dr Robert Jackson who died in Thursby in April 1827?  The date and place is recorded in various publications at that time, but I can't find a death record, nor a record of where the burial was.

Would be grateful if anyone can help...

Many thanks

In an index of mine-

Buried at Thursby on 11 April aged 76.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Thank you so much for this information!  Apologies for the tardy response but I have been away.  Would you happen to know whether there is more than one burial ground in Thursby?  It would be great to visit and try and find a gravestone.

It looks as though the graveyard was extended at some stage into the field behind the church http://tinyurl.com/35cvpak

Perhaps you already have this obituary http://tinyurl.com/359ro5y

I see his Will is at National Archives http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?queryType=1&resultcount=1&Edoc_Id=198823

Hi Tatty5

He sounds as if he should have or once have had a gravestone.  I don't know if those are still there but I could have a look if you like if you don't have a photo.  I live very close.

Let me know.

Wow - that would be fantastic, Emms!  Thanks very much for the offer.  I live in the south and can't head Thursby way for some time.  If you have the spare time and it isn't too much trouble, confirmation that a headstone exists would be fabulous.  Robert Jackson was born around 1750 in Lanarkshire, Scotland (although some accounts say it was Dumfriesshire); he was an army medical reformer and inspector general of hospitals.

Hi

Just a quickie to say I've not forgotten.

I set out once and it was raining when I got near - only a few fields away! - and I've had a bit of a bug but itchung for a spot of grave hunting now!

I hope you're well.

best wishes
