Thank you Nivard and Jim, You are both correct, I put my query to the list without much thought and I can see I could have been more precise. The wedding (Wadkin: Jackson) and the year date 1888 was written on a piece of yellowed paper found in a family bible. There are more goodies inside the cover of the family bible but they need a conservator. When I find what exciting items there are in there I will share. I know Charles has JACKSON, WHEATLEY and WADKINS in his family also FAIRHOLMES but as Charles is unable to type (a neurological condition) at present I am doing some legwork for him. As far as I know from the family apocrypha the JACKSONS came from the Grantham area, the WADKINS I am unsure of but the name is common in parts of northern England. The FAIRHOLMES seem to be old Gedling residents. I have just had sight of a wedding, JACKSON and WADKIN, on Free BMD and I am keen to find out more and more. Jim, would you please put the names on your listings? be safe Charli
