[Sio]

Hello,

I am looking for 1891 & 1901 details for the family of Thomas JACKSON farmer at Wolsingham, Durham.

There may be two - Thomas Snr b. c. 1863 & Jnr c 1867
Thomas was a widower on the 1881 census

Thanks,
Sio

Thanks to both of you. Yes, I put 1863 instead of 1836 oooooops, I don't usually make mistakes like that!

That's great I have now gained another daughter for Thomas  - Margaret is not on the 1881, but Elizabeth is.

The other daughter, Sarah Isabella is not with them on 1881 but may be the Sarah B. Jackson with cousins for the census.

She got married in 1892 so she must be somewhere else on the 1891 as Sarah Jackson. (b c 1873 Wolsingham, Durham)

Would you be able to check that for me please, if it is not too much trouble?

You have made my day , that 7 year old Ann Ryle visitor is actually the most important name there - proof that I have the right family of Jacksons - yipppppeeeee

Ann Ryle is the daughter of Sarah Isabella Ryle (née Jackson).

Thanks again!

Hi again, on the 1891 is a transcribed Sarah J Jackson aged 17 b Wolsingham shown as adopted daughter to John Hawkes 51 and Sarah Hawkes 48 in Gateshead, Durham Census ref RG12/4189/76/26 is this your lady?

I think so Keyboard

I have just found her in the 1881 census with John and Sarah Hawks and
she is classed as the half cousin.  As Thomas had lost his wife early, she
could have been ill for a few years beforehand so it would not be unusual
for someone in the family to semi-adopt her to help them out.
Definitely think this is your Sarah Mother of little Ann

Pleased to see we have resolved your problem Sio

regards Sandymc

p.s. I think these are the parents of Thomas born 1836.
William Jackson married Betty (Elizabeth) Hastie on 15th February 1834 in
Sunderland

Hi again, as Bowlees is prominent as the homestead, just in case you do not have 1841 census:-

William 30
Elizabeth 25
Mary 7
Thomas 5
Hannah 9months
Census ref HO107/308/ 18/30/ 8

Happy researching,

Although the initial is Sarah J (maybe an I that looked like a J) I think that is her alright, as she was with the Hawk(e)s in 1881, I will have to find out more about them, as we as a family do not have any knowledge of them. I knew that half cousin was a clue they were probably related.

I am wondering if Sarah's mother was a Hawk(e)s. I do not have her maiden name yet. Must also find out when her mother died. I do hope the Hawk(e)s were good to her.

Adopted daughter is unexpected, maybe it was to inherit? I think formal adoption started in 1926 so she was probably just referred to as adopted. She remained a Jackson til she married.   

The fact that they lived in Gateshead is extremely interesting as she ended up in Swalwell nearby. I always wondered how. Is there a street name?

Oh that is brilliant to get the previous generations of Jacksons, I have no idea how far back they were farming there. I did wonder was Thomas the first as he is quoted as being born in Stanhope rather than Wolsingham.

I learnt today that Bowlees farm goes back to 1590! Should be more info to be found there so. Unfortunately it looks like there was a fire there last winter destroying a lot of history.

I wonder would that marriage of his parents be in Sunderland beacuse she was from Sunderland?
