Find Ancestors

I am looking for any Jackson from Oxford who survived WW1 or died in service.

If they died in service, you will find the records on the following FREE site

http://www.cwgc.org/

And, please take a moment to read your post...............would you be able to help if you were one of us?

Ok...I have a photo from Oxford paper in 1915 of 6 sons of Mrs Sarah Jackson all serving in war.

James RMLI 1895
William 2/4 OBLI 1889
Herbert Leonard 8th OBLI 1893
Arthur H... RFC 1887
Charles D ..Army Ordnance Corps 1879
Horace L RE 1880

William and James I think I have found marriages for after WW1

Look at the CWGC site...........link posted above

Are you actually related?

I hope you've looked in 'search all trees'.....................

If this is the family in 1911..........at least one of your dates is incorrect

You'll need to use the correct birth year when searching for HORACE - as per 1911 census posted above

Births Jun 1890 (>99%)

Jackson Horace Lovell Oxford 3a 806

There are two GR members with Horace in their trees.

That should always be the first place you look in searches such as this

Thank you. I will amend my records.

Don't you use freebmd, Sonya?

Reggie I am sorry about this. The family gave us to understand that these men were casualties of war and none of the family knew of their wherabouts so I searched the casualties lists. I still think Charles Dennis Jackson may have not returned. He was quite old for service wasnt he? sonya

Well, the evidence disproves the 'stories'

Don't take anything at face value........check it out.

If Charles Den(n)is isn't on the CWGC site, he wasn't a casualty of the War......

And have you done anything yet about contacting the other GR members?

Thank You. I have looked on the CWGC site and there are many Charles Jackson entries. I do not know his reg. number all I have is a reference under the newspaper cutting giving AOC which I presume to be Army Ordnance Corps. I could not find his signing up form either (I found this for some of the others) This is handy as it gives the RegNumber. There is one C Jackson Gunner 695554 killed in action 1917. How can I check this ? sonya

The rank of Gunner is accorded to a soldier serving with the Royal Artillery....not a member of the Ordnance Corps
