Thomas JACKSON [Parents]-J0501 # was born about Mar 1826 in Ribchester, Lancashire. He was christened ¹ on 18 Mar 1826 in St Wilfred's Church, Ribchester, Lancashire. He died ² on 28 Mar 1880 in Blackburn, Lancashire from brights disease and dropsy. He was buried on 01 Apr 1880 in St Wilfred's Church, Ribchester, Lancashire. Thomas married ³ Mary BARTON-B0505 # on 11 May 1845 in St Johns, Preston, Lancashire.

Thomas was counted in a census on 07 Jun 1841 in 10, Sergeant St, Preston, Lancashire. He was described as aged 15 years and working in a Cotton Factory. He was counted in a census on 30 Mar 1851 in 18 Ribbleton Street, Preston, Lancashire. He was described as Son, aged 23 years, working as a General Labourer. He was counted in a census on 08 Apr 1861 in 34 Lyon Street, Blackburn, Lancs. He was described as a Widower aged 40 years, working as a Flaggers Labourer. He was counted in a census on 02 Apr 1871 in 6 Byron Street, Blackburn, Lancashire. He was described as a Widower aged 46 years, working as an Outdoor Labourer.

On his marriage certificate (11 May 1845), Thomas states his age as 21. This would put his birthdate between 12May1823 and 11May1824. It could be that the Vicar just put 21 for both of them (ie as being of full age) or that Thomas lied about his age - he was probably only 19.

In the 1851 Census at Ribbleton St, Preston, his age is stated as 23. However, this would put his birthdate between 31Mar1827 and 30Mar1828, which must be wrong since he was baptised 18 Mar 1826. I can't see any reason  why he would understate his age at this stage of his life.

Thomas and his family moved from Preston to Blackburn between 1852 and and 1854.

In the 1861 Census at Lyon St, Blackburn, his age is stated as 40. This would put his birthdate between 8Apr1820 and 7Apr1821, some 5 or 6 years older!! One possible explanation of this is that the age of one of his sons (Richard) is shown as 18 (whereas he was probably only 15) and Thomas may have wanted to give an age that was more consistent with having an 18 year old son (saying 35 would have put the birth at  his age of 17).

By 1871, he is living in Byrom Street, Blackburn and has given his age as 46 (d.o.b. range 3 Apr 1824 to 2 Apr 1825) which is perhaps nearer the mark.

When he died on the 28 Mar 1880, he was living in Brunswick Street, Blackburn and his age was given as 52 years  (d.o.b. range 29 Mar 1827 to 28 Mar 1828)

The most likely reason for the inconsistency in dates of birth, is that they were probably illiterate, had no written records themselves or had simply lost track.

Mary BARTON [Parents]-B0505 # was born about Sep 1825 in Preston, Lancashire. She was christened ¹ on 12 Sep 1825 in the Roman Catholic Church of St Wilfred in Preston, Lancashire. She died ² on 22 May 1859 in Blackburn, Lancashire from phthisis. She was buried on 26 May 1859 in the Old Cemetery, Blackburn, Lancashire. Mary married ³ Thomas JACKSON-J0501 # on 11 May 1845 in St Johns, Preston, Lancashire.

Mary was counted in a census on 07 Jun 1841 in Cunliffe Street, Preston. She was described as aged 15 to 19 years, working as a Cotton Winder. She was counted in a census on 30 Mar 1851 in 18 Ribbleton Street, Preston, Lancashire. She was described as Daughter-in-Law, aged 24 years.

At the time of her marriage, Mary gave her age as 21, which gives a d.o.b. range of 12 May 1823 to 11 May 1824.

When Mary died on the 22 May 1859, her husband gave her age as 36 years (however he wasn't very accurate with his own ages). This gives a d.o.b. range of 23 May 1822 to 22 May 1823.

It is possible that she was born between 12 and 22 May 1823 but just as likely that one of the ages given is incorrect.

Richard JACKSON [Parents]-J0601 # was born about 1797 in Ribchester, Lancashire. He died in May 1860 in Blackburn, Lancashire. He was buried on 10 May 1860 in St Wilfred's Church, Ribchester, Lancashire. Richard married Margaret CLAYTON-C0602 # on 11 Aug 1823 in Ribchester, Lancashire.

Richard was counted in a census on 07 Jun 1841 in 10, Sergeant St, Preston, Lancashire. He was described as aged 35 to 39 years and working in a Cotton Factory. He was counted in a census on 30 Mar 1851 in 18 Ribbleton Street, Preston, Lancashire. He was described as Head of family, married, aged 53 years and working as a General Labourer,.

The IGI lists two possible baptism's of a Richard Jackson in Ribchester around 1797

24 Apr 1796  - son of Thomas
28 May 1798 - son of Richard

If the custom of naming your first son after the paternal grandfather was followed, then the first of these two is the more probable, since Richard (J0601#) went on to name his son Thomas (J0501#)

BENTHAM, Alice

The identity of William's father is not known. Unlikely to have been Thomas Exton, as Hannah married him almost five years later.

Possible death record for William. The age and timing are about right. It is also unusual to describe someone aged 60 as 'the son of' but the only record we have for William's birth/baptism, only shows a mother's name 'Hannah Halstead'.

The surname found in records for this family take three forms Alston, Alstead or Halstead and appear to change randomly rather than any deliberate attempt to change - presumably this is down to parish clerks and enumerators writing down what they believe they heard. On the 30 Mar 1851, the surname Alston was used on the census but Halstead used when his son Thomas was baptised on the same day!
