Hi Michele, > The only Kirby Moorside baptism I have for a Margaret Jackson in the right > time period, is the following one taken from the parish register - > > 2 May 1804 > Margaret (born 22 April 1804) 2nd child and 2nd daughter of William Jackson > of Kirbymoorside, (son of John Jackson and Elizabeth nee Dobson of > Farndale). Mother, Ann (daughter of Mark Graystock and Ann nee Frank of > Farndale) > > Their first child also at Kirby Moorside is- > 7 July 1799 > Hannah (born 17 June 1799) 1st child of Wm. Jackson of Farndale, (son of > John Jackson of Farndale and Elizabeth nee Dobson.) Mother, Anne, (daughter > of Mark Graystock of Farndale) > > no other children for this family baptised at Kirby Moorside up to 1808 > (that's as far as I've looked in the records) > > so it would seem that my William and your Margaret are not siblings,- > perhaps cousins? > > If you need any other Jackson look-ups at Kirby Moorside, I've covered: > Baptisms 1704 - 1808 and 1843 -1851. Marriages 1699 - 1800 and Burials > 1700 - 1828. > Happy to share. Many many thanks for this information. It all seems to fit exactly - but I think I need to get a bit more proof first. But I will certainly keep it as a possible. Don't you just love the Kirkbymoorside registers from this time? - they help enormously. I have two Jane Teasdales born in this area at the same time - I nearly made the mistake of assuming they were both the same person - until I discovered they were from two (as yet unconnected) families. I don't want to make that mistake again.
