I went to bed last night having posted a query and woke up this morning to a full family.  Brilliant work - many, many thanks to Cando,Merlin and especially Kris. Yes, father was George and the boys were farm workers back in Westmorland so I think this is definitely the right family.

Thanks for the pointer to getting transcriptions rather than full certificates.

My husband will be so pleased to find out what happened to the family as he remembered snippets from his granny (their much older sister) as a child in the late 1930's early 1940's.

Fairlane, I stumbled across this post by accident, Albert William Jackson is my great grandfather! I would love to know any info you have come across, I live in the town where albert and elsie are buried, and will probably have lots of photos to share, im still sorting through crates of letters and photos that were there daughters belongings.(mary Solly),
hope this messages reaches you as im stumped on finding info for England!

Hello JulieSolly
I'm delighted to hear from you and can certainly help you going back in England with family info but I'm going on holiday for a week from tomorrow so it will have to wait until I get back! Lots to do before I leave so I will get in touch after next weekend.
My husband's grandmother, Elizabeth Jackson, was your greatgrandfather's eldest sister (born 1871).
Her brothers and sister were:
George 1873; John 1876; Mary (known as Poll) 1878; Thomas 1880 then Robert 1883 and Albert William 1886. They also had three half brothers from George's first marriage:
James 1855; Richard 1857 and Joseph 1859. Richard who also went to Australia died in 1939 in Blackwood, Adelaide as a retired Methodist Minister. Their father, George b.1829 was a farmer and Primitive Methodist preacher around the Appleby area in Westmorland.
Sadly my husband passed away last year but he would have been thrilled to hear about the next generation living in Australia.
Best wishes
Fairlane

Hi Fairlane,
Im sorry for your lose, Its a shame I didn't stumble across this site earlier. I have a lot of letters and photos to sort through, but I remember a letter to albert in Australia and it mentioned polly, (and my grandmother Mary solly(nee Jackson) always talked about aunt polly) I would love to chat when you get back from holidays, I cant seem to find a way to contact you except on this forum. are you on ancestry at all?
Have a happy holiday and enjoy yourself.
eagerly awaiting your return, JulieSolly
