    3. Picking up on my research on this line I have rejoined the list after almost 10 years to see if there is a chance someone may be researching this family. Hannah Jackson aged 18 (b1865) and her sister Agnes Jackson aged 16 (b1867) emigrated alone to Queensland in 1883 on the Duke of Buccleuch. They left the ship in Bowen and went into employment from there; Hannah to a Mrs Smith and Agnes to a Joseph Emmerson as general servants. Hannah (my g Grandmother) married Arthur LAWS in Bowen in 1887 later moving to Townsville and Mackay in Nth Queensland. Agnes married John Bailey GRANTHAM probably in Bowen where she lived all her life. >From Hannah's birth and marriage certificates I know she was born in Glencorran County Cavan and that their parents were John JACKSON (farmer) and Jemima FAGAN/FEGAN. I believe the family may have been Church of Ireland. The Griffith's valuations don't show any Jacksons at Glencorran but there were Jacksons and Fagans in nearby Pollabane A *Mr R Jackson,* living at *RIC Mahcross Terrace, Carrickmacross, **Co Monaghan* in 1918 may be a relative of Hannah's, as Hannah's son Ernest may have visited him during his time of service in WW1 - this address was in his war diary. cheers Narelle Sydney
