Jessie was born in 1893 in Holinwood Lancashire, Her mother MAry A (Dixon)? was born in Halifax Yorkshire she married a Jackson I think possibly named Elias- they had four girls who I am aware of Jessie (as above), Sarah E (1891), Agnes (1895) and Elizabeth (1897) I am wondering if anyone has any information on this family?

Not likely that anyone reading actually has information, but it can be relatively easy to find!
Where are you getting the info you have -- e.g. when you say Jessie's mother was Mary A (Dixon?)?
This marriage?
Marriages Jun 1890 DIXON Mary Ann Oldham 8d 1006 Jackson Elias Oldham 8d 1006

Have you searched for the children's births so you can order a birth certificate and confirm the parents' names? Found the household in a census?
Searching at FreeBMD for the birth of a Jessie Jackson, 1891 to 1895, we get quite a few, but this is likely your girl:
Births Sep 1892 Jackson Jessie Oldham 8d 717
(You'd need to do that search and check the image to make sure the data is correctly transcribed, before ordering the certificate.)
Presumably you have her year of birth from a census; September 1892 would make her 8 in the 1901 census.
That info matches up with this birth for Agnes, e.g.:
Births Sep 1894 Jackson Agnes Oldham 8d 655

Ah, I see your problem. Mary Ann had been widowed by 1901:
Name: Jessie Jackson Age: 8 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893 Relation: Daughter Mother's Name: Mary A Gender: Female Where born: Hollinwood, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: Oldham Ecclesiastical parish: St Paul County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: Oldham Sub-registration district: Oldham Below Town ED, institution, or vessel: 7 Household schedule number: 227
Agnes Jackson 6 Elizabeth Jackson 4 Jessie Jackson 8 Mary A Jackson 28 Sarah E Jackson 10 William Porter 19 Mary Rodgers 41
And yet there's no matching death for Elias Jackson ...
Here he and Mary are in 1891:
Name: Elias Jackson Age: 20 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871 Relation: Lodger Gender: Male Where born: Oldham, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: Oldham Ecclesiastical parish: Werneth County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: Oldham Sub-registration district: Oldham Below Town ED, institution, or vessel: 42
Elias Jackson 20 Mary A Jackson 19 Leah Jackson 3/12 Edward Ward 32 Sarah E Ward 26 Annie Ward 1

I think it is possible that this might be the family in 1891 (although the age for Mary Ann is the same as in 1901 but this could be a mistake):-
Name: Mary Ann Jackson Age: 28 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1863 Relation: Wife Spouse's Name: James Gender: Female Where born: Halifax, Yorkshire, England Civil Parish: Chadderton Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address:
Occupation:
Condition as to marriage:
Education:
Employment status: View Image Registration district: Oldham Sub-registration district: Chadderton ED, institution, or vessel: 22 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age
James Jackson 29 Mary Ann Jackson 28 Sarah Helen Jackson 1/12
Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 3317; Folio 112; Page 15; GSU roll: 6098427.
Sarah Helen could be the Sarah E. (Ellen) on the 1901 census).
UPDATE - just realised that you think Mary Ann's husband was Elias, but the family I found has the husband as James.

Uh oh. Wrong people. Here are that 1891 Elias Jackson and Mary A, in 1901:
Name: Elias Jackson Age: 30 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Mary A Gender: Male Where born: Oldham, Lancashire, England Civil Parish: Bolton Ecclesiastical parish: St James County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Registration district: Bolton Sub-registration district: Little Bolton ED, institution, or vessel: 11 Household schedule number: 85
Elias Jackson 30 Fred Jackson 9 months Leah Jackson 10 Mary A Jackson 29 Mary A Jackson 3 Richard Jackson 7
So I'm thinking they're the ones who married in 1890, and your Mary Ann didn't marry Elias Jackson.

I think you could be right, Kathleen ... although I rather wish we weren't working at cross purposes here. I'll leave it to you now.

Sorry Kathryn - didn't mean to take over your searching, and I have to give the computer back to my son now anyway, so please don't give up searching because of me.
