Hi
I wondered if anyone would be able to help me locate a family in the 1911 census?
I have looked and I'm not getting anywhere:

I am looking for a family
Father John Jackson
Mother Sarah Jane Jackson(nee Smith)

children:
Jimmy (maybe James?)
John
Annie born 1906 Tynemouth
George
Sarah
Freddie
Tom
Harry

The concrete details I have are that Annie was born in Tynemouth in 1906 and married Samuel Hulmston in Birkenhead in 1942.

Her mother Sarah Jane was also living in Birkenhead during the war as I have her ration book.  So I am assuming the family moved to the Wirral but I don't know when.

I am pretty sure that John Jackson and sarah Jane Smith were married in 1899 Tynemouth.

Not all of the children would have been born before the 1911 census but these are all the children I believe they had (family member remembers then all!)

Thankyou if you decide to have a look

About 15 years ago when doing research, I found out my gg-grandmother was in asylums in the 1920s.
I contacted some record offices and one was able to supply me with an admissions record for my ancestor and some letters written by family members.

I remember another record office flatly refusing - saying they are sure my ancestor wouldn't want anyone seeing the documents. 
I decided then that I would revisit this in the 2020s as it would be 100 years and perhaps more likely I could find more information.

So my links from back then no longer work so I wonder if anyone would know where I could start looking at this.

Her name was Ada Roughton and she was born in watford in 1872 and married alfred tompkins in watford in 1894.  they had 3 children and alfred died in 1902.  i know that the children then went into an orphanage as i have the certificates.

I went to the National archives and trawled through registers to find her name.  By the time she was in the asylums she was remarried so was then Ada Seymour.  On the admission register she is described as having melancholia which I presume would be depression as we know it today .


Thanks in advance for any information

It does say From M Boulton yes

I have no idea of the connection if any 🤔

Not sure if this post is in the correct place?

I am sorting through boxes of old documents and I came across this coin/medal???  Not sure what ....

On the front it says Horatio Vicount Nelson
And on the back it says
Trafalgar Oct 21 1805

On the rim it says

From ***** to the heroes of Trafalgar

Can’t read the word *****
