Hi, In reply to Betty Dobson You mention John Jackson & Hannah Holmes their son William was my Gt Grandfather all his children moved with him to Leeds & all settled in the Holbeck & Beeston area. The Dobson family I will tell you what I found out but was running out of time at Northallerton so there is gaps John Jackson m Elizabeth Dobson 3 Jan 1758 KMS Elizabeth b 1727/8 father John Jackson Farndale(Cochan) William b 1725 John b 1722 James b1727 John Jackson m Ann Hartas 1720 another Dobson married an Hartas Richard Hartas m Ann Dobson 1714 I had then written in my notebook `that in 1647 Henry Dobson m Ann Betton which shows the Dobson were still in Farndale` When I have some time I intend to go up to Northallerton & see what I can find out but in a day you don`t always seem to move forward in your tree. In reply to Margaret Stafford re George Jackson George Jackson b 28 11 1802 parents father George who son of George Jackson& mother Dinah Thompson mother Polly Yoward Daughter of John Yoward & Elizabeth Barrett I have a problem could anybody help In the 1851 census John Jackson lived in Kirkbymoorside Children living with him & his wife Hannah William 1846 John 1848 Mary age 11 described as daughter. She is not in the 1841 or 1861 census John didn`t marry Hannah Holmes until 1845 so she must have been born before he married. Any ideas he was`nt a widower when he married Hannah Mary Lamport --------------------------------- Yahoo!
