Jacksons of Doncaster
NOTE: This family began in England, and then had family in Co. Tyrone. The most significant were the two cousins who married: James Edward JACKSON & Lydia JACKSON. He became the Dean of Armagh. I have highlighted in blue the known family members who either were born, married or died in Ireland, or were otherwise known to reside there. I expect that this list will grow as I learn more. This outline is followed by a detailed report which includes sources.
