I'm getting desperate now! I have traced my family back to one William Jackson. I have his will (apparently they didn't do death certificates in 1838 in Scotland) and a copy of his Banns of Marriage. From this I have gathered that he was born in or around 1806 but where and to whom I don't know. I really need to get a copy of his marriage certificate as that would tell me his parents names, or something of the sort. What i do know is as follows: HI Anne, Wonder if you could help me as have been stuck on one person for some time now (at least 2 years!) William Jackson B. circa. 1806 M. Susan Hunter in Barony Church, Gorbals, Glasgow on 7 November 1829 D. 16/09/1838. He was made a member of the Guild of Bakers of Glasgow on 6 feb 1837. In his will there is mention of a Robert Jackson, debtor to the estate, but I have no other information on him. He is buried in the Glasgow necropolis (Gamma No. 33) but the head stone is very badly worn and is thus illegible. He was made out as the owner - I checked the records. If anyone can help I will be eternally grateful. Roly Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
