Stuck trying to trace Great Grandfather, born London in approx 1877

[louisa maud]

Oh dear,  have been plotting a family of Jackson, father John and mother Ida, she was a British Subject
Father's occupation is in the police force but HARRY was born in Streatham, 1873, so that rules that one out

And so we plod on

1901 I don't know if he is in Nottingham or nearer to where Anna was Suffolk

Pity we can't find who lived at the address Harry Daniel Jackson gave on his marriage cert

If you're sure about the Jewish connection ...

A long shot, but perhaps this might be the family in earlier censuses, with a subsequent change of surname from Jacobs to Jackson?

Great Alie Street is close to Goodmans Fields.

Harry Daniel Jackson had a daughter named Theresa.

I don't think that's a long shot at all!

That makes a lot of sense to me and I might be getting over excited but I really want to look at this some more!!


Re 1901 census I can search by address in find my past but no Buxton street or that number for king meadows way

I haven't been able to find it in 1901 either. To help locate it, in 1891 it's enumerated immediately after 67 Kings Meadow Road, starting at RG12/2684 folio 126 page 31.

[Bookbox]

Found it now in 1901. It's at RG13/3168 folio 48 page 36. I think FindMyPast may have transcribed it as Burton Street.

I don't think he's there, but it may be worth browsing around a little.
