ESTHER JACKSON

[Peter Goodey]

once you have the death certificate it will (should) give her birth date and from there you should be able to select the quarter that her name appears in.

No it won't, as pointed out in message #6 above. The date of birth only started appearing on death certificates from 1969. Before that date only the age is shown.

Absolutely right Peter! How short my memory is and I have just been inputting data from all my bmd's too

Don't let me put you off spending money but I have to tell you that a 1947 death certificate won't give you a date and place of birth. Sorry.

I thought the Death Certificate showed where and when the person was born. Was I mistaken?

Hi Peter, Sorry I've just read your message above and at least thats saved me a bit of money. Cheers Mick

Hi fillandclaire, I had some credite left over so as you see my reply to AdeleE it doesnt give me any more information. Thanks for trying Mick

I have a marriege certificate for Esther Jackson marrying my GGrandfather Hugh STREENAN on 21 Oct 1889 at the Parish church in Killingworth Northumberland. She stated her age as 24 (1865) spinster and her father was JOHN JACKSON who was a miner at Dudley Colliery in Killingworth.

Can you give us all the details from the marriage certificate please? Addresses of bride & groom...names of witnesses...the exact words for the occupation of John Jackson

Hi AdeleE, the details are date of marriage 21 October 1889
Hugh Streenan age 23 Bachelor Miner resided at Dudley Colliery (no street/road given) Fathers name Michael Streenan Bricklayer
Esther Jackson age 24 Spinster No occupation resided at Dudley Colliery (no street/road given ) Fathers name John Jackson Miner (the miner is a little blurred but as it nearly identical with the miner for Hugh Streenan im 99% positive its correct.

Many thanks for your interest Mick




Witnesses John Gledson and Mary Jane Jones.

Fathers name John Jackson Miner

In your first message you described him as a Miner at Dudley Colliery. So was it in fact just 'Miner' with no colliery specified? Is he detectable in any census?

Hi Peter, Themarriage certificate stated that Esther Jackson was resident at Dudley Colliery not that John Jackson was a miner at Dudley Colliery. It stated that his profession was a miner without stating his place of work. I dont know if that helps at all - im stymmied. Thanks for the enquiry anyway. Mick
