Trying to find Jackson

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Jennifer Report 7 Feb 2007 23:49

I am seeking my mother's side of the family she was a Bright,from London, and I am led to believe was related to the Jackson's of Birmingham,they lived in Great Barr in the 50's. There was Nana Jackson, (before living in Great Barr had a sweet shop in the inner city)I later found out she wasn't my grandmother. She had sons Harold and Arthur, and daughter Doris these were I believe my mother's cousins.Arthur was a widower and had a son Raymond,Doris married a Cyril Walker and they had a son Michael. There is a mystery as to the connection of my grandfather Walter Bright to the Jacksons, and why he bought my mother to Birmingham,also there appears to have been a 2nd marriage for Walter to one of the Jackson family. I have come to a dead end with my mother's family and am sure the link is somewhere with the Jacksons,any help would be much appreciated. Jenny
