but at least we know now that Joseph was a market gardener & if his own garden may be in Directories.

I've just checked the 1941 Directory again and there are a load of Market Gardeners but not a Jackson among them unfortunately.

I get the feeling that the Jacksons were reasonably well off living in Davies Road and then a new house in Burleigh Road - not that the thought gets me very far!

It depends how old he was as to where he went. I haven't found any lists of contemporary West Bridgford schools yet (there may be only one - St Giles School, Rectory Road) but the archives for local schools are described here: https://tinyurl.com/6e6r6pw

He died 8 Feb. Notts : Joseph Jackson of 44 DERBY GROVE.Age 61 Probate to Mary Jackson widow effects 2241 pound 19 shillings & 9d. That's the other phone book chap.

So in Kelly’s 1941 Directory there is a Mrs Mary Jackson at 44 Derby Grove (I hadn’t mentioned her before because the initials were irrelevant to previous posts and I thought we’d all get confused with too many Nottingham Jacksons).

There are no Jacksons in Derby Grove in the 1925 Directory.
