Sorry, I don’t have any information about Rebecca Jackson born c1813 in Bradfield. I’m sure that she was not part of my family because we have all the BMDs and other information from 1654 about my family up to the present time. If I come across anything else, I’ll certainly let you know.
Kind regards
Tony

In reply to Tony Jackson.

Thank you, that is very interesting. We have investigated Charlotte Sandersons life further, in the course of trying to pin down our ancestor George Sanderson, her father was also George, and they were living around the same time, it appears there is no close connection.
Have you in your family history research seen a Rebecca Jackson born c1813 in Bradfield? I would be interested in finding out more about her.
Kind regards Angela

The Bradfield Workhouse records show that on 21 March 1839 Charlotte Sanderson aged nine was taken by Abraham Jackson”. Two years later, the Census records for 1841 show that Charlotte was employed by this Abraham Jackson as a servant (although he stated that her age was 14 at that time).

In fact, Abraham Jackson was the brother of William Jackson who was my great-great-grandfather and who became a famous surgeon in Sheffield. Their grandfather was actually one of the founders of Bradfield Workhouse and was an Overseer of the Poor there.

Well well well, there I was searching my family tree and came across a sensus, listing my family at this farm, so I googled the farm and came across all this information. To my surprise.
1851 census.
I will read up properly at a decent time as it is late. By the way I’m in the Midlands.

In reply to Jim West.

Dear Jim,
Apologies for not replying sooner, I have only just found your message.

My belief is that we are related. I don’t have my family tree to hand, but I am aware of a Pricilla Sanderson.

You may also be surprised, but I think I have a photo of Thomas West and Pricilla. Someone sent it to me around 2006, but I cannot recall who it was (maybe you?).
I can send a copy if you like, if you would like to send your email (although it is not good quality).

Best wishes (cousin!) Angela
By the way, have you done a dna test. I have through ancestry.

In reply to Grant Davies.

Hi Grant, many thanks for your message which I have just discovered. Apologies for the typo/ mistake which I will correct. I get our two ancestors details muddled, as my ancestor Jonathan, I believe was your John Sandersons brother. They married 1748 and 1750 to Bramall women. Then died 1763 (need to check my facts) and 1760, wives remarriage to cutlers within a couple of years.
Guess they both died of cutting related disease.
By the way, do you know if Martha had more children with Joseph Hobson, as Jonathan’s gt grandchildren lived next door and intermarried with a family of Hobsons, wondering if there was a connection.
Best wishes Angela
