Hi there,
I haven't been on here for a long while. I have just started to find a little time to do abit of my family tree.
I seem to be having a few issues on finding information on my great grandfather William John Jackson,born 1852 Edmonton. father Charles and mother mary.
He married my great grandmother in 1899 Emma Rowlett. He died in 1912 as i have been told by my father but i can find nothing on this. Also i'm guessing with the age difference he may of married previously also..
any help would be great
Thank you in advance
Susan

A tree on ancestry suggests that this is him with his first wife.

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place

David Roderick Lodger Single Male 27 1854 Carpenter Cardiganshire, Wales


The tree has her as Ellen Neal, they marry in 1883 and she dies in 1886. There is absolutely nothing to back this up though.

Hi Greyghost,

Yes the parents of William were as you have found above.
I couldn't find William in the 1881 or 1891 cencus!!
I found that he had a wife in 1883 Ellen Neal but she died in 1886,couldn't find any children.
I also found a marriage to Kezia Hutchenson in 1871 she died just a few years later,still not sure on any children??

Susan

Susan Report 25 Oct 2020 16:59

Apologies, just seen reply from Alviegal on the 1881 cencus which confirms the marriage to Ellen

greyghost

greyghost Report 25 Oct 2020 17:07

Alviegirl hasn't confirmed the marriage to Ellen, just saying that is what a tree on Ancestry suggests, but that there is nothing to back that up.

The 2 marriages you mention - do you KNOW that they are both him?

Oh i hadn't seen that..
Thank you

This would mean born c1852, so around the same age as William. Not seeing her 1891 census at the moment

Should also say widower on his marriage cert. to great gran -
EDIT - yes, Shirley posted the Banns earlier on the thread which said he was a widower.
