COMPLETED Albert William JACKSON - Adelaide

[fairlane]

I wonder if anyone can help with a very long shot at finding family who emigrated to Adelaide.

Robert Jackson was born in 1883 and Albert William in 1886 in Asby, near Appleby, Westmorland.

The only info I have is that either or both emigrated to Adelaide after 1911.

I have found that a Robert Jackson and Albert Jackson were on the OMRAH leaving London for Sydney on 23 June 1911 - any chance of finding information on them on arrival in Australia to confirm or eliminate?

There is a death for Albert William Jackson in Adelaide in 1964 - a lookup would be appreciated.

Sid,

Thanks so much for a very speedy response - the age at death gives a birth year of 1886 so I am cautiously optimistic that this could well be my husband's great uncle. I do know he was married as when my brother in law (sadly now deceased) was in the Navy in the early 1950's he visited them on a farm outside Adelaide. My husband remembers a photo of his brother with a koala bear accompanied by an elderly man and woman. I will look into getting a copy of the death certificate.

In appreciation, Fairlane

A couple of cheaper options to purchasing a certified death cert in South Australia.  I think the present cost is around AUD$40 for a certified certificate.  Transcriptions give the same information and the information can be emailed to you.
