I did see this but thought maybe Gibralter was a mistake seems like the name George came after he was baptised?

I think they are two brothers, both born in Gibraltar. You can find both of them in censuses eg in 1851 John is with Maria and George is with Elizabeth. Both selling salt.
British regiments were stationed in Gibraltar in the 1820s so their father John may have been a soldier at that time.

Hi grisel and thank you for following through with this and connecting the dots for me.
At one point I seem to temeber seeing an army record for a John Jackson in Gibraltar but nothing to distinguish him as the one we nee. Now of course ancestry.com is refusing to bring it up again. There are so many John Jackson's my eyes are rolling in my head.
