Hi Bethany,

I think I have found the incoming passenger record of your grandmother and great grandmother coming back to England in 1945.
Also in 1947 is a Leslie Ernest Jackson returning from Bermuda who is a civil servant. The address he gives as his future residence matches that given by Ethel which is in Lacashire.

Just checked indexes for that marriage and spouse's surname is Jackson only, not Jackson or King so I don't think it's her.
Can't find her death though in Lancashire.

Bethany

Bethany Report 31 Dec 2010 17:40

i have been told 1946 she died in but i dont have concrete evidence of that,i will look into it thank you

Janice

Janice Report 31 Dec 2010 17:23

Hi Beth,

Err tricky question, but do you know that she definitely died?
There's a marriage in the area she came back to in 1946. It's a common name so may be nothing but might be worth investigating if you're not sure.

Marriages Sep 1946

Jackson Ethel Simpson Lancaster 10c 1417

Simpson Ronald Jackson Lancaster 10c 1417

tooty fruity thank you for looking but thats not a match,she was in scarbrough in 1939 but she was pregnant with my nan at the time,thats were she was born.

Janice thank you that has been a great find,your right patricia was only born in the december before,70 years today actually so that does make sense thank you :)

Janice

Janice Report 31 Dec 2010 16:52

On Find my Past.
Year of birth is often out by a year because it's calculated by age so if they haven't had their birthday that year it won't be right.
Was ethel's maiden name king?

Bethany

Bethany Report 31 Dec 2010 16:48

Yeah my nan was Patricia,the birth dates are a year out for my nan and great nan but this looks like them,thank you!! were did you find it?

Janice

Janice Report 31 Dec 2010 16:45

Is your Nan called Patricia?

This could be them on the shipping lists going out to Bermuda in 1941

JACKSON Ethel 1907 F 1941 Glasgow Bermuda Bermuda
JACKSON Leslie ? 1909 M 1941 Glasgow Bermuda Bermuda
JACKSON Patricia Anne 1940 F 1941 Glasgow Bermuda Bermuda

i am trying to find the death records of my Great grandparents Leslie Ernest Jackson and Ethel Jackson.

i have been told that leslie died in 1945c and i am lead to belive that he died in bermuda ( he was working for a company called cable and wireless)

Ethel was supposed to have died in 1946 in scarbrough after leaving bermuda because of leslies death when she died my Nan was with her and she would of been about 7 at the time, ethel was her actual name but she liked to be called phylis so she could be under any of these.

If anyone could help i would be very grateful

Beth
