Hello list I'm wondering if anyone can help, or has come across 'my' family of JESSONs. I have Sarah Smith JESSON marrying into my HINTON family in 1854, Edgbaston. She is 'of full age' as is her groom, Thomas Hinton. Her father is listed as John JESSON, shoemaker. I can trace her following her marriage through the census returns from 1861 - 1891 inc. I *think* I have her as a visitor in 1901 (so difficult to confirm), but I cannot find her before her marriage (1841 and 1851 census) or her family at all! She is consistently recorded as being born in Birmingham, Warwickshire. Her age is 29 in 1861, 40 in 1871, 50 in 1881 and 70 (!) in 1891. She dies in 1903, Birmingham. I keep thinking that with a fairly unusual name of JESSON (so I think), it should be easier then it's proving. Any help, finds or ideas would be very welcome :-) Heather
