Hi Anne
I think we share common ancestry: Murray James Hamilton Jackson was the brother of my great grandfather, Charles Welby Jackson.
I don't know if this is much help, but this is an extract from the family history I have been compiling:
Papers left by both Sir Keith Jackson and Amelia Jackson are held at the Royal Geographical Society in London.
The papers of Sir Keith Alexander Jackson, one box and four large files, include his diary in Persia, 1828-1829, including notes on a voyage down the Tigris and Euphrates to Bossora; his private journal, 1838, of the storming of Ghuznee; a journal on a voyage from Bombay to England, 1841 and his rough note- and letter-book, 1842-1843.
Amelia Jackson�s papers consist of travel diaries chiefly her own describing tours through France, the Netherlands and Wales, 1822-1828 and diaries describing her life in England (Bath, East Malling, Taunton), 1861-1868. Also the diary of her father George Waddell in Benares, Malabar and Bombay, 1799-1800 and his diary in Bombay including of his marriage to Amelia King, 1800-1803 and a diary of her brother George Waddell Junior on tour in Wales, May-September 1828.
The papers were donated by Sir Robert Jackson in 1934.
Sir Keith Jackson was captivated by Scinde. The Ames Library of South Asia at the University of Minnesota exhibits of The First Afghan War, 1839-1842, contains some of his paintings from the campaign.

The date on your ring is the date of the death of Sir John Jackson, 1st baronet. His wife, Charlotte Spry Jackson, died in 1807. According to my information, his son, John Jackson, who is our common ancestor, died 2 June 1869, a few days after his wife died (25 May 1869). They were both buried in Bolton Street cemetery. I'm not sure what you make of all that...

Hi Paul or any other listers email me on whitehead_colin@hotmail.com
I have a photocopy of the portrait of Sir John and one of John (1799-1869) both sent by Lyal Jackson some time back have lost contact, with him, Olaf Jason is author of Golden Feather and Artist Surveyors, have his postal address someplace.
Sir John Jackson and his wife were both painted by a famous portraitist in pastel, will try and find my references this weekend. Copies I believe in Golden Feather.
Received the 1894 cataloque last night sadly it has none of the portraits shown only listed. so back to square one on seeing what Lucy and Eliza Martha Pasley Daniells (nee Butler and Hodges) looked like as painted by Cosway.

Cheers

Newspaper article (with photos) written by Llyndall from September 1925. Scanned photos were a tad creased when photocopied - I scanned them from a photocopy - so they look a bit worse for wear.

New pages up on the website!

Hi guys - due to the large number of photos coming in, I have reorganised the file structure of the site (background stuff) to make it easier for me to administer. Hopefully this should have no impact on your browsing - but this means that I may have inadvertently broken some links on some pages (I've tried to get them all! ) or some links might be pointing at strange things.

If you find anything like that, can you please let me know - either via the forum here or via email.

Thanks!

PS. Keep those photos coming. And any stories (of the publishable kind!) would be gratefully received too!
