Hi,

Whilst working on various members of the Jackson family, I came across an entry that should be treated with a bit of care. It can be found on FHL Film 1041467.
The spelling of the Surname is given as JACTION rather than JACKSON but from the film, we can see that John JACKSON had a Christening Date of 6th August, 1782 and that it was recorded at the Parish Church of Sorn in Ayrshire.

Just as important, the Film gives us the names of his parents. They were George JACKSON and Janet LITTLE.

Best wishes, as always.


Tom.
