Hi Kay, Thanks for your quick response. The only Rose Jackson I have was born in 1868 in Hamilton, Tasmania and married a Langdon. However, as i have not done extensive research on this line yet, we may find a connection at some point and therefore will keep you information for future reference. Cheers Catherine Langdon Hi Catherine, I have a Rosanna Jackson marrying into my husband's Manson family in 1877. I don't have any other details except she was married in 1877 and had at least one child - Tasman George Manson. She married David Manson who was the son of a convict, David Manson from Wick in Scotland, and Ann Levack (the daughter of a convict, Angus Levack - also from Wick in Scotland). Seeing as the name Rose (Rosanna) is common we may have a connection. Hope so anyway.
