JACKSON marriages found in the Downpatrick register – plus a few strays.
This is part of my recent “cluster approach” to unraveling the various JACKSONs who may or may not be related to each other in the townlands east of Saintfield. Apparently, thanks to recent DNA postings, I am distantly related to some of these people, Exactly how I may be related continues to elude me. I will continue to update this page with more data and links as time permits. The most important link will be to a family tree of JACKSONs of Killinchy & Kilmore. |
