	ErikaH, - having people appearing with different spellings of their name on different documents isn't uncommon, but when it happens it's a pain. With the Jeakins/Jeakings/Jackins/Jakins/Jenkins family about the only time they seem to appear with the same spelling of their family name is on a census document where several of them are living in the same household. Jeakins seems to be what later generations of the family have used where they have signed documents, so the inference is that this is what they settled on at some point. Even with John & Elizabeth, several children baptised in the same church, the spelling on the baptism register varies.

	ErikaH - not necessarily careless, I tend to list people under whatever spelling they first appear with. Who is to say what the correct spelling is? I have used the spelling Jeakins as a handle for the whole family in this post, but in some cases one or other of them never appears on a census doc, BDM or other "official" document with the Jeakins spelling.

	A tree on Ancestry has the whole family listed as Jackins - shows how careless some people are

	John, wife Elizabeth and several of their children went to the US in 1851. The family appear on the England 1851 census just prior to leaving in Newton by Folkingham, Lincolnshire. John 30: Mark 23: Matthew 16: George 12: Charles 5 are all listed with their parents. Sarah 20 is in nearby Folkingham as a servant. James 31 is already married to Ann and in a separate household in Newton. 3 other children remained in England. I have traced what happened to all but 2 of the children, but lose all trace of Sarah and George after the 1851 census. I found a bio of Mark, it mentions Sarah as going to US, but says nothing of George - given that he was only 12 I would have thought he would have gone to the US with his parents. One of my problems is that the name Jeakins can appear under other spellings, I've found Jakins, Jackins, Jeakings and Jenkins so far. Son John ended up in Ohio as a farmer, brothers Matthew and Charles are with him in 1860, as is the now widowed Elizabeth their mother. Mark ended up in Illinois as a farmer. Can anyone track either George of Sarah down after 1851?
