I am researching the families of George and Emma Jackson from Oldbury and Joseph and Maria Parkes from Sedgley.

The children of George and Emma Jackson were Matilda, Sarah, Joseph, David (my G-Grandfather), George, Elizabeth, James, Mary Ann, Harry and Ellen, who were born between 1861 and 1886. Harry Jackson emigrated with his family in 1914 to the United States and settled in the New York area.

The children of Joseph and Maria Parkes were Sophia, William, Betsey Ann (my G-Grandmother), Eliza Harriett, Joseph, Ezekiel, Abraham, Leah and Thomas, who were born between 1866 and 1885.
