Jane, Couple of thoughts .... It's an unusual surname, maybe it was transcribed wrongly in 1901? Have you tried various options? Other route, is to trace him as a Royal Marine ... have a look at the National Archive/PRO files starting 'ADM' (for Admiralty). A 'cousin' of mine traced an ancestor down to a series of ships on which he served and we even saw the Ship's Log for one of them - all at the PRO. Good luck. Jane |

Google Historical Directiries and look in the area and date you want. I had someone in the eye infirmary in Norwich and did this to confirm. Good Luck Lin |

Joseph William Cave Jackson popped up on the 1891 census at The Royal District Hospital School Greenwich. Age 13 I can't find him in 1901. I am assuming he joined the Royal Marines like his Father. Where/how can I find out more about the school? Sorry - I mis-typed that surname. As you can see quite common which makes it harder to find him |

If you search for him in the census he should pop up wherever he was, even prison or hospital jess |

After many years of searching I have been told an ancestor was down as a pupil at the above school on the 1891 census. Has anyone any idea where I can find out more. The teachers were described as - Seamanship instructors. This follows as his father was a Royla Marine and died between 1885-1891 (Can't find that death!) Any help would be appreciated. Jane |
