Find Ancestors

Hi all

I am trying to trace a cousin of my nans who may still be alive called Geoff and the only way I can think of doing it is trying to find who my nans dads siblings married.

Their names and date of births are below
William Percy s Jackson B.1896
Albert c Jackson B.1898
Florence Mary Jackson B.1901
Muriel decina Jackson B.1905


they were all born in yourshire hull but moved to westham Essex 1908C as my great grandfather was born there 1909

Any help would be great

Births Mar 1896
Jackson William Percy S Hull 9d 248

Thank you patchem,have you any idea how I can get info on who they married?

There are going to be rather a lot of possible partners, as their surname is very common.
Do you know if they all stayed in Essex, West Ham, or are marriages going to be anywhere in the country?

Births Jun 1904
Jackson Muriel Decema Hull 9d 326

No Muriel D Jackson marriage showing in free bmd in Essex, or close-by.

Okay thank you anyway,I will have to keep looking this cousin was special to my nan and all I have is his first name a!nd a rough birth year!

Hi Bethany, you need to search on........Freebmd.org.uk
Where did your father marry?

Births Jun 1898
JACKSON Albert Cowling Hull 9d 299

My parents married 1987 but I'm looking for my g.grandads siblings marriages to find Geoff I will check that sight thank you

If you get the birth certificates, so you know exact date of birth, this can help in finding their death (depending when they died)
The informant on the death certificate could be a relative, which can give clues as to marriages.

Thank you patchem you've been a really big help: )

Forget i asked that question!! oops!!

Lol

Lol its okay

Thank goodness for one unusual name!

Name: Muriel Decima Ruddock
Birth Date: 13 May 1904
Death Registration Month/Year: Oct 1994
Age at death (estimated): 90
Registration district: Tunbridge Wells
Inferred County: Kent
Register number: D7
District and Subdistrict: 5761D
Entry Number: 157

So she married a Ruddock -- Ancestry has screwed up the transcription, but it was Fred Ruddock, 1930, Lancaster. Fred born 1906 died 1990 in Northumberland; he seems the only candidate in the deaths index. Hmm, perhaps Muriel had a child in Kent.

Ruddock-Jackson births -- just one in Lancaster that looks like a possible, Frederick, around the time of the marriage.

So it looks like you can rule out Muriel as the parent of cousin Geoff.

I know its a very unusual name,thank you everyone is being so helpful!

Births Dec 1900
Jackson Florence Mary P Hull 9d 278

What I meant, Bethany, was that I was able to find her in the deaths index because of that unusual middle name, and she died after 1969, which is when the index started to include middle names (not just initials) and exact birthdates (not just age at death).

As patchem mentioned, if you could get the exact birthdates for the other siblings, it might help find them in the deaths index -- as long as they died after 1969.

In any event, now you have the info about Muriel if you want to look for her family in future.
