(Why are we searching this JACKSON line. Is this something to do with a FAIR/FARE connection? See reply #14)
Auckland Star 29 Nov 1897 p8

At reply # 14 - both death notices refer to a
"John FAIR" :
First is "late John FAIR of Klenkility, Cork, Ireland" - the father of Eliza, wife of James JACKSON.
[Nothing to suggest that this John FAIR was ever in New Zealand ?]
* And the researcher (JACKSON/ FAIR thread at Rootsweb) states that Eliza and James Jackson came to New Zealand in early
1864.
* The daughter of Eliza, Mrs J. MERRICK, was Caroline Agnes JACKSON born 17 Oct. 1855 , India (baptised at Kamptee).
Would doubt that the John FAIR of Cork, Ireland, was the person appearing as a sponsor in the 1844 Auckland baptism records of the daughters of William JACKSON and Mary Ann(e) HUNT.
Can't see any obvious connection, or information to suggest, that William JACKSON is linked to James JACKSON
---------
I do however think the Mrs Maurice KELLY of Wade (former wife of John FAIR - arrived 1841), is the Mary FOGARTY co-sponsor with John FAIR of the JACKSON daughters (1844).
