Jackson - Edwinstowe

[otterlady]

Hi Peter  This is great news, as you know my father in law was Fred and he was the last born in the Jackson family in Victoria Terrace in Tibshelf and he was born in 1931. I have his birth certificate and this tell me his mother and father (upstairs in filing cabinet) but I will let you know the details. My husband Paul was also born in Tibshelf at Prospect Terrace in 1955 and he also remembers Grandad Jackson. I have done some research but it is leading me towards the Stafford area. Paul's grandad was born in Tibshelf but his father came from Stafford have you heard anything about this or am I wrong! Do you live in the North Notts area now. I would love to keep in touch with you and try and sort out this Jackson family tree as it is a real puzzle. If you want to keep in touch you can email me please on (*)

Hope to hear from you soon

Sheila

Hi Sheila, and Peter

Sheila, I tried keeping in touch, writing to your Blidworth, Notts address and tried telephoning, but the reply was 'telephone number not recognised'.

It's Pat.  Fred was my uncle, brother of my mum, Sarah (Sally).  The last time we met was at Uncle Fred's funeral.
 
I found your below enquiries/posts when trying to research Grandad George Jackson.

I'm still in touch with Cousins Pam Hill and Colin Clay, Aunty Betty Clay's (Fred's sister), daughter and son, and Joy Newham (Aunty Josie's daughter) and my Mum's cousin, Pat Arnold. And, of course, Andrew and Kathleen.

I don't know how we contact one another outside this system.

Attached are some pictures - The Jackson Family (left to right back, Josie, I think, Charlie, Sally, Bnow ill, front, Annie, Grandad, Granma, Fred and Betty.  Loulou, died in infancy, and I can't remember where she came.  Uncle Bill's (Peter's father) wedding.


Peter, we've never met, but Mum talked a lot about your family, and I remember the hair-dressing shop that your mother ran, near Prospect Terrace.  Didn't your sister go to the Royal College of Art?  My son, Jon, is an artist.

My wonderful Mum died nearly five years ago now and I still miss her terribly.

Hoping that you are all well

Hi Pat

WOW, WOW, WOW - it's the first time I have seen a picture of the Jacksons - let alone such a GREAT pictire of my parents wedding.  It should bring back memories for my mum - now 97 years old.  I have been in contact with Sheila but I haven't heard from her since June.  She says that she has traced back to 1790!! Unfortunately she hasn't shared it with me yet.  I've traced back the Jackson family through George and Emma (grandparents), Charles and Emily (great grand parents) to Joseph and Ann (great great grand parents).  Joseph was born in 1832 so I've got a way to go to get to 1790.  I have George's birth Certificate, George and Emma's Wedding Certificate and George and Emma's Death Certificates.
Everything before George and Emma needs to be reconciled but I'm 90% certain it's correct.
George was the last of four children - Alice, William and Annie - born in December 1886 but registered in 1887.  He and Emma married in 1911 and there followed possibly 12 children. (Interestingly, George gave his address as 50 Lincoln Street, Tibshelf, on the Marriage Certificate.  The 1911 census has a William Jackson living there with his wife and children.  That would suggest that George stayed there prior to his wedding and gives credence that William was his brother.)  My dad was third born and Sarah was fifth born.  I have all their names and dates of birth.  I know that the first died before the age of one and there was another child who died young.
Census information has Charles a widower by the time George was 4 and he was being looked after by his grandparents Joseph and Anne.
I'm hoping that someone will buy me a subscription to Genealogy.com so that I can get confirmation of what I have surmised and can get earlier through Parish Records etc.

Sheila gave me her email address on this site but the moderators didn't like it.  After a couple more "posts" I should be able to sen a personal message to you via rootschat and we can talk.

It's really exciting.  I have three cousins on my mother's side but the Jackson's have been a closed book except for a few vague memories of Aunty Josie and Aunty Betty and even vaguer memories of granddad, Fred and Annie.  It seems that there are many cousins out there in the Jackson's family.

By the way, you mentioned Susan.  She went to the Slade where she met her husband Joe Keys.  They moved to Southern Ireland and made a living out of their painting.  She died last year in the prime of her artistic creativity. They have a web site I'm sure and I'll see if I can get it for you.

Hi Pat

Susan's web site in www.joandsuekeys.com.

I've got a picture of Mum's shop in Heathfield Terrace (next to Prospect Terrace) somwhere but they're not on this computer.  I'll look for it when I get home.  We're on holiday in Southport at the moment.
