Thanks. I have found a descendant of Joseph's to send the original to, with a link to this thread.

I have found someone on ancestry who has Lydia Halsey in their tree; Lydia born ca 1808 was the mother of Sarah Ann Gamble b ca 1843 and married William Gamble in 1827.

Let's hope she's interested in the documents!

ADDED: SUCCESS!! The Ancestry contact replied and she would like the documents!! So I am posting them next week.

HEAVILY EDITED 15/2/24 am
Yes, I've really hunted for the whole family but can't find anyone else researching the family, no public trees or links to other researchers. I can only find the family of George born Lambeth, Clarissa born Shoreditch, daughter Clarissa b ca 1835, daughter Sarah Ann b ca 1836 & Joseph aged 9 in one census as well - 1851 HO107 Piece  1534 Folio 537 Page 24 although Clarissa may be on 1841 HO107 Piece 709 Folio 12 Page 17 and going on through censuses till 1891 [widowed by 1861] when she is living at 12 Red Lion Court aged 85 with a granddaughter Clarissa aged 23 born St Lukes. Clarissa snr dies in 1898 aged 93.
Deaths Sep 1898 
Jackson    Clarissa    93    Whitechapel    1c   188
 
I realise now that there will be no descendants of Joseph Blandford Jackson and Sarah Ann Gamble as Sarah died 1869, Joseph 1873, their daughters Sarah Ann & Elizabeth Clarissa never married and son Joseph died in 1874.

So looking for descendants of George Jackson b ca 1785 & Clarissa Clark b ca 1806 married 12 Mar 1832 @ St Stephen Coleman St. Obviously one granddaughter Clarissa Jackson b ca 1868 though I haven't yet found her birth and MMN. The only one I can find born in St Lukes is
JACKSON, CLARISSA       WOOD 
GRO Reference: 1845  M Quarter in SAINT LUKE MIDDLESEX  Volume 02  Page 333 but this would make her 45 in 1891 and I think she is daughter of Robert Jackson and Frances Ann Wood.

In addition to the above  certificates [yes I still have them as it's so hard to throw out such old documents] I have
Original birth certificates for Sarah Ann Jackson 19 May 1863 & Elizabeth Clarissa Jackson 9 Oct 1865
daughters of Joseph B Jackson shoemaker & Sarah Ann Gamble, plus death certificates for wife/mother Sarah Ann Jackson 1869 aged 27, daughter Elizabeth aged 78 on 29 Nov 1943.

Just to make sure a search will bring up this post, Joseph was son of George Jackson wine cooper or wine corker aged 66 in 1851 and Clarissa née Clark aged 44 in 1851. There is a requisition for Joseph's birth certificate from 1854 which gives his parents names.

The apprenticeship indentures for Joseph Brandford Jackson to Robert Chapman of Whitecross Plce Wilson Street shoemaker are dated 1855. The reverse of each are marked with the cancellation of the apprenticeship 27 Sep 1860.

Thanks both, those were my thoughts Gadget.

Neale1961, Their mother Jane Newman was born in 1809 so I doubt it's her in picture.

Yes I agree. Clearer on japeflakes' restoration!!

How old would you say the women are? One on RH side looks quite a lot older then one on LH side.

Lovely restoration thank you Japeflakes, much clearer.

The man looks quite like who I know to be Joseph's son Frank b 1905. If photo is mid 1860s is the man is about right age [just under 20] for Joseph born 1848? Joseph's father William b 1807 had the following children with wife Jane Newman - George 1827, Mary 1829, Maria 1831, David 1833, Henry 1838, Charlotte 1841, Anne 1844, Joseph 1848.
 
I inherited the picture from a descendant of Frank so is it more likely to be his father Joseph with sisters than of an older uncle of Frank's with aunts.

Thank you both

How old do we think she is? 20 - 23? I've tried looking for Martha [without Jane] Rom* on 1861/1871 censuses. Though maybe she was visiting London not a resident? The  fact that you found the ambrotype in Russia makes that more feasible.
