I am looking for the wife and whereabouts of a James Jackson born abt 1806, don't know where he married. An educated guess says Lincolnshire, because his twins were born in 1825/6 Ann and John. Help!!!!!

I don't know if you can definitely say that the ones that Keith found are twins. On the 1841 census anyone over the age of 15 had the ages rounded down to the nearest 5, so both John and Ann could be aged anywhere from 15 to 19, even though the age for both shows as 15. Margaret

Thats very true Margaret, but have posted them on later census on the other thread and they do appear to be the same age.
