Joseph Jackson from Blessington, Wicklow married in Dublin

Marriage cert

v

Do you have any more information on Joseph, did he stay in Ireland, did they have children, do you know what he worked at. Although he has listed Blessington as his address, I do not think his father was from here and there are many families of Jacksons from Baltinglass etc, very many were church of Ireland. If there is anything you can recall it could make such a difference.

Thank you, Eileen,

Unfortunately, we do not have any other information on him other than what you see in the marriage certificate.  He was married to Teresa Donovan in 1939 and they lived in Dublin.  The story is that he deserted the family.  Teresa Donovan remarried Joseph Egan in Dublin in 1957 so either Joseph Jackson died or perhaps she was able to remarry if he was declared dead? (I do not know what the law was in Ireland at the time)

When I visited Ireland with my parents as a child I recall my mother mentioning that Wicklow was an important place to her father.  The other areas are Rathdown.  Lastly, my mother said that she was named "Hannah" after her father, Joseph Jackson's mother or family member so that is the only other clue I have and I haven't found any Jackson marriages to anyone with the name Hannah or Jackson marriages with one of the children being called Hannah.

Kind regards,
