Do I have this right George and Matilda’s kids wer
James 1844
Sarah A. 1845
John 1848
Thomas 1851
George. 1854

Thank you I know jean or Jane watts was the mother but apart from the marriage in 1771 there is no record of her birth death or any census x

Thank you it’s all so confusing when they all have the same name I know William was a widower but Elizabeth cresswell didn’t die that young so I was wondering if I had the right spouse or if he remarried ,thank you x

Where am I going wrong am I missing something or have the wrong person ?

Now I am confused the one census says
William jacksons head 70 1781
George jacksons 36 (son) 1817
Matilda jacksons 38 (daughter in law)
James jacksons 7 (Matilda’s son)
Sarah a jacksons 6 (Williams daughter )
John jacksons 3 (Williams son)
Thomas 11 months (Williams son)
No record of a mother
Still not sure if it elizabeth cresswell or Hester



The next census says

George 44 1817
Matilda wife
Sarah daughter
Mary daughter
George son
Thomas son

Ah John is Sarah’s son born 1872 I think x

Matilda has 4 children Sarah ,Mary ,George,and Thomas , and I have found a John too now x

Trust me to have a family that doesn’t fit together now you can see why I was getting nowhere fast it doesn’t all slot together as it should ,I really appreciate you all helping me it’s been driving me mad xx

Any idea is this is the son that dies or this one

Unfortunately, no baptism record for Matilda, and this is the only one of the name on 1841 census in Gloucestershire, which means that finding out her mother's name will be difficult, at best
