I hope this finds you all well and not too tired after giving up an hours sleep!😜
Just a little update:
I ordered the certificate from Sheffield but Royal Mail decided they were either gonna lose it or just not bother! After A LOT of emailing and phone calls, a lovely lady made it her mission to deal with this personally and couldn’t apologise enough. She has checked every detail for me before issuing the certificate and rung me at every stage of the process. She confirmed on Friday that all the details match and she was sending it out, hopefully I will have it by Tuesday, if I don’t have it by Friday I’ve got to ring her again.
So from what I have been told John Thomas Jackson is the son of William Jackson and Emma Glaves and was born in 1872 in the Ecclesall Bierlow area of Sheffield, I told her I had DOB of 26/1/1872 and although she hasn’t confirmed it, she hasn’t said it’s different either. All I need to do now is find out when he died and if he lived long enough to get married and have children.
Thank you again for all your help with this, it’s much appreciated.
