I'm trying to find George William Jackson (?1857), who was listed as being a Clogger from Yorkshire. The only ones I can find on the 1901 census are married to the wrong people - but I think I've got the right guy - born in Accrington, Lancashire!
It's such a common name though. and I can't identify him on any other years so far.
My guy married Margaret Cambridge (or Lynott) in the early 1890s (but possibly after 1891) and separated in 1901 - before the census!

If this rings any bells, I would love to trace him before or after 1901.

You might be best to start with his M/C as that will give you his age, Dads name & occupation

If the maiden name you have for Margaret is correct then this is their marriage
