Hi,
I am after some assistance with my friends family tree. I am trying to trace his fathers line and have got stuck. I have done my own family tree so think I have done the basics but would love some advice on what to do next!
The family is of Jewish heritage and are not sure when they moved to England.
I am stuck at the level of Great Grandfather.
His name is Harry Daniel Jackson, we believe he was born on 20th September 1877 (from 1939 register) and was born in Goodmans Field in London which was a Jewish area (from 1911 census)
He was married in Nottingham on Christmas Day 1901 and they went onto have 3 children, only one of which had a child which was my friends father.
I have sent off for the marriage certificate and am waiting for that but do have a shortened version which shows Harrys father being called John Jackson.
We did believe we had baptism records from 1882 which was the same name however after liaising with London Metropolitan Archives we have discovered this record has been wrongly dated and is from 1982, rather than 1882.
We cant find any record associated with him until his marriage in 1901, and no census record from that year. There was someone born the same year with the name Harry Jackson in London however I have been able to rule him out.
Can anyone assist with what to do next please?
Thank you so much
