Find Ancestors

Kia ora
I am trying to find information on my Great Grandfather, William Thomas Jackson. He was born in Birmingham and had an upholsters business in Long Acre, Nechells, Birmingham. He married a Hannah Hopeton and came to New Zealand in 1921. I am keen to know if he had siblings, who his parents were and if I have any relations still over in that neck of the woods. Would love to make contact. Hoping somebody can help me.
Many thanks.
Kia kaha

This is obviously connected with your other thread............

The marriage cert will give you the info you need to start with...........William's age - and his father's name and occupation

Surely this thread is about William's SIBLINGS - not his children

I believe David has the correct one on 1891 as this seems to be the same family on 1901,
though William Thomas is now 'Thomas William' and his father appears to have a new wife?

P.S. - New wife is actually EMILY Wainwright (confirmed by 1911 census).:

Marriages Sep 1896
East Lizzie Aston 6d 574
***Jackson Henry Aston 6d 574
RAINBOW George Aston 6d 574
***Wainwright Emily Aston 6d 574

Therefore, this 'could be Anne's death?

Deaths Sep 1893
Jackson Annie Elizabeth 38 Aston 6d 195

Their marriage:

Marriages Jun 1874

ELLIS Annie Elizabeth Birmingham 6d 114
Haywood George Birmingham 6d 114
Jackson Henry Alfred Birmingham 6d 114
Smith Caroline Birmingham 6d 114

All of this, of course, will have to be confirmed with certs!!!
