Hi
I am helping an Australian friend in her quest for information on a Frederick Jackson born Clerkenwell London circa 1883-86.
Her message states:
I am seeking Frederick Jackson, born around 1883 to 1886 born or so he claims Clerkenwell. Married to Alice Moore in 1907, have marriage cert. Known for sure to have had two brothers, names unknown and possible third brother who was very up himself. In fact a snob of the highest order.
Served in the Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry during WW1, his record is in the Burnt Records, Army number 18293, enlisted 5th February 1915 and discharged 20th August 1915 due to permanent injury, war wound. Died in sidcup 1959 alleged age 73. Have his medal records, he got the Pip, Squeak and Whistle medals. Family story goes that Fred was disinherited from the family because he married beneath his station, Fred was very highly educated, this we do no for sure. On the 1911 census he says born Clerkenwell.
Can't find him anywhwere.
Regards
Pam
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Frank

Beginning to think he was born out of wedlock
Not checked out his service record but I would presume his wife is shown as next of kin

Hi Glitter Baby,
Thanks for the update and your thoughts. Let me know what you find please?
With regards to his father, it is quite possible that he had a job. Just because the family where living in the workhouse, doesn't mean he didn't work. In order to get a place in a union workhouse a person was actively encouraged to undertake some form of employment in order to contribute towards their keep.
Cheers
Frank

Hi Glitter Baby (again)
Hot off the press from Oz.
Hi Frank
Thanks for the info sent to me, most of it we had except the possible baptism, maybe it is him maybe not we have date of birthday 29th July from his discharge papers. Everything we have is very conflicting and no firm proof.
Pam.
I have just had a thought!! If Pam has his date of birth from his service record and his marriage cert from 1907, it will obviously have his father's name on it, which would help confirm the birth record you found is correct. Once she obtains the birth cert of course.
Cheers
Frank
