JACKSON/HAYES Marriage

[47813]

Hello everyone, thought i'd give this great website a shot in yet another smallish brickwall you might say.

it concerns the parents of my grandmother Elizabeth Helen Jackson born 1916 in St Helens:

Her father was Albert Edward Jackson born 1888 in St Helens. He was no problem as i have a copy of his death certifcate that my dad had buried in lots of old photos etc

Its his wife whos been the problem

All i know is her maiden name is Hayes

Plus my dad likes to say his family are Irish from is dads side and English from is Mothers side apart from a bit of Scottish also from his mothers. So not 100% just hearsay but could well be that if a family can be traced it will include some Scots.

Apart from that i can't tell you much else

Well apart from my check of the BMD index which only comes up with one outside shot

From 1913 there is a ALBERT JACKSON and a EMILY HAYES married....

only trouble is its in Keithley (the Yorkshire one i suppose if there is any others in the UK?)

And the JACKSON family all are quite well suited to the same house in Prescot, St Helens never mind another county altogether for one of them.

Any help or advise would be most grateful

Thanks

THANKS Sandra 

I owe you one. that one has bugging me for ages

Least i can get my hands on the marriage certifcate now

May i ask a futher small question - Her surname is down as Hayes on my grandmothers birth yet is Heyes on the marriage certifcate.

Which would you go for?

I myself would go with Heyes as the census seems to bring up more promising possibles with Elizabeth Heyes rather then Elizabeth Hayes.

Just thought i'd ask someone with a far superior knowledge in this type of thing then me.

Thanks again Sandra

Hi Jonathan

No superior knowledge I'm afraid 

From experience, I'd say that you can't stick to one spelling, because you'll miss something or get led up the garden path.  I have Clark's [without the e] but that doesn't stop even the occasional "official" document sprouting an "e", so a name like Hayes / Heyes / Hays even if it was spelled out, might be problematic.

Then you also have the transcription from the original to the copies & then to the index 

You have to hope that her father has a reasonably unusual name, occupation or that they come from & stay in a small area 

Best of luck
