After bashing my head on many brick walls, I have decided to start looking at as many JACKSONs as I can find in Ireland in the 1600s. My reasons are self serving. I know that my particular JACKSONs came over to Ireland in that century, although which particular batch they belonged to, I haven't a clue. Most of these JACKSON records included beneath will be ruled out as significant to me in the long run, but may be significant for others. Many of them may have been mainly in Antrim or Down or Carlow or goodness knows where else – but they still had links to Dublin as well. SEE: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/history/JACKSON-1600Dublin-COI-BMDs.html I would be beyond grateful if others can add to this. I will be working on the 1700s set of records next. They will take longer as there are about ten times as many of them by then. Thanks, Sharon Oddie Brown -- Sharon Oddie Brown Roberts Creek, BC, Canada.
