Jackson, John

Jones, Anne

Agbold, Co. Wicklow

1807

Banns of Marriage between John JACKSON of the Parish and Anne JONES of the Parish of Agbold, in the County of Wicklow

NOTE: I cannot find a parish of Agbold, Co. Wicklow, but there is a Parish Aghowle, Barony Shillelagh, Co. Wicklow. In tithes of 1825, a James JACKSON has a holding in Aghowle at Coolkenna and James and Thomas JACKSON have holdings in Aghowle at Barnacashel.

2 Aug 1807 by me Joseph JENKINS, curate

9 Aug 1807 by me R. JOHNSON, rector

12 Aug 1807 by me Joseph JENKINS, curate.

NOTE: The name R. JOHNSON is not included in the names of rectors on the scroll in Creggan Church. He was likely Richard JOHNSTON. See Burke’s The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales:

JOHNSTON (cos Armagh and Dublin, and the City of Dublin; confirmed to Rev Richard JOHNSTON, M.A. Rector of Kilmore, Diocese of Armagh, descended from William JOHNSTON who served at the siege of Londonderry, 1689, and to the other descendants of the said WILLIAM JOHNSTON). Ar a saltire sa. as betw. in chief a trefoil slipped vert, and in base a heart ensigned with an imperial crown ppr on a chief gu. Three cushions or. Crest: An arm in armour embowed, the hand grasping a sword all ppr. charged on the elbow with a spur-rowel gu. Nunquam non partus.This would mean he had Scots roots.
