Find Ancestors

All of the Jacksons on the Dunkirk Memorial are listed here. None seem to match.

If Edward and Kate had any other daughters, perhaps the husban of one of them died in WW11 and was known as Jack.

Just to clarify - even though it doesn't help your original request

are you certain Amy Alice Jackson re-married in 1938?

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007

Name: Amy Alice Jackson
Birth Date: 18 Mar 1907
Date of Registration: Mar 1983
Age at Death: 76
Registration district: Croydon
Inferred County: Surrey
Volume: 11
Page: 2118

This birth would fit nicely with the death added above

Births Jun 1907 (>99%)
SNOW Amy Alice Croydon 2a 266

I've looked at freebmd, there is no record of a marriage in 1938 for Amy A Jackson

Where did you get the info that such a marriage took place?

There are births for Jackson with MMN Snow in Croydon from 1926 until 1943.

There is also a Jackson to Snow marriage in 1935, so can't say if the later births belong to that one

Stephen and Amy's first-born's marriage

Marriages Dec 1960 (>99%)
JACKSON Arthur J WATSON Croydon 5g 166

Info about whether his father was alive or not should be on the cert

(Amy Alice on above, possible others?)

Chris :)

What a brilliant site, Chris. Thanks for mentioning it. It's in my bookmarks

Thank you all

Yes Jackie..... Kathleen Simmonds was my M in L.... 3 sons & 1 daughter followed.....MMN Simmons... I know for certain this is correct... I knew all that were born after Kathleen.

Thank you Margee..Chris.. Will look at that..

Tess.... Yes there was 1 other daughter but her husband was William.. known as Bill.

Now it gets complicated.....

Amy Alice Snow is I believe ( not proven) the daughter of John George Snow & Annie Gifford... This was on an outline descendent tree sent to me in Jan.2012. Unfortunately I can't remember by who...I was in a very bad place then....

It goes on to say...

1st. husband of Amy Alice Snow...Stephen Arthur Jackson.Mar. Aug. 31st 1925 Croydon.
2nd'. husband Unknown.. B. abt 1907 Eng. Mar. about 1938 Eng..
3rd. husband George Gardiner B. abt 1905 in Eng.Mar. abt. 1943 England.

No mention of any children

You should always try to verify any info that you have been given, especially when it all seems so much like guesswork

freebmd is the site for doing that

This is Amy in 1911. I have sent a correction to FMP

Annie must have been a 2nd wife. William can't be her child

I would advise getting a copy of the death cert for Amy Alice Jackson

There is nothing anywhere to support the marriage info in the tree you were given, other than the 1925 one

Do you mean Kathleen Jackson, when you refer to your mother in law?

What was her husband's surname?

Could this uncle have been on his side?

Yes Kathleen Jackson is M in L's maiden name.

Because it is so expensive I usually try to limit cert. purchase to direct line. unless there is a problem like this. So , by default I have only my informants say so & 1911 census above that Amy Alice's parent's are John George & Annie Snow.
Is it possible to do an address search for 1901 & 1911 census to see who is resident at 7 Hill St . Croydon..
On Kathleen's BC. she was born at no 6 Hill St. in 1912.
I am wondering .
Edward 1903-1903 ...Born mothers house Leighton St.Died of TB at 18 Union St.
Stephen Arthur born 7. Hill St 1904

Did she go there because she had just lost 1st. born
& wanted family support for 2nd child.
Charles 1906-1906 was born & died Union St.Croydon

Hope this all makes sense.

Sorry
Correction..... Kathleen Jackson NOT kathleen Simmonds is M in L

You could have verified (or not) the so-called info yourself on freebmd without having to spend any money

Could you answer the question about who Kathleen married, please

Frederick William Wren



Which sight to verify occupants of address please.

Than k you

Thank you

No Wren deaths on the Dunkirk memorial

The 1911 census on page one of this thread shows they were at Union street

Thak you Jacki.... But it is not a Wren Death It is a Jackson. Stephen Artur is Kathleens Brother. Not Husband.

I'm fully aware of the relationships involved.......

The point I'm trying to convey is that you may be wrong in assuming that the man who is alleged to have died was a Jackson.

Uncles aren't only on one side of a family, and unless you were given the surname, you have to be open-minded

Jacqui

There were no siblings on the wren side
