Hello all, I am assisting a friend who is interested in her background. Her grandfather was James Straker JACKSON, whose birth was registered at Belford in 1883, and would appear to be a son of James Straker JACKSON and (Mary ROBSON probably). The family story is that James jnr ran away to sea. I think James snr. was a son of Henry Dixon JACKSON and Esther STRAKER who married 1855/2q. If anybody reading this is researching the family, I would love to hear from you. thanks Marion
