St Marys Church - William & Elizabeth Jackson 1850

Shot in the dark.

It appears that another son (Arthur) married 3 Apr 1919. I wonder if it could be this wedding he attended?

You must have read my mind as I was just checking the siblings marriages out.
The 1920 marriage cert doesn't say "deceased" but as we know that bit does not always get recorded.

This was Alberts wedding in April 1920 where William is at. He is sitting down bottom row second in from left.
Elizabeth is bottom row first from left. Arthur was at wedding as witness, think he is second in from right, top row.

Found her! Elizabeth died 12 Jun 1921, she's on the probate. She is also listed as a widow.

That's brilliant you found Arthurs wedding, thanks. I have been looking for that and his military career.

No wonder I couldn't find it. I've been going through more albums my Nan left me today right back from the early 1900's. She was meticulous at naming every photo but other than Alberts wedding there's non of him but loads of Ada and her husband.
 
I think you can safely say that William was dead by 12 Jun 1921, which leaves a number of options...

William's death wasn't registered (doubtful).

His death for whatever reason was registered in another part of the country.

There's a big mistake with his age on his death registration.

The Jun 1920 Kings Norton death actually is his.

Your photo has been mis-labelled (seems unlikely).

None seem strong possibilities.
 
yes MWS any of the above is possible...my grandad lived in hockley but died at west heath hospital from TB i think it comes under kings norton ...

i did find the kings norton death earlier but his year of birth was out by at least 2 years although that does not mean to say its not him...

William Jackson
DEATH AGE:70
BIRTH DATE:1850
REGISTRATION DATE:Apr 1920

TRUE BRUMMIE

Would a married couple be buried in the same grave that early?

Not sure but I have a family burial at Yardley - child aged 5 died 1920 and parents buried in same plot in 1950s so family graves must have been available then.

I have today started in a new album so I have more info. So the picture in post #66 where I said William Jackson was in at the wedding in 1920, bottom row second in from left.

That’s is NOT him. It’s Alberts (grooms) brother. It was written on the back as grandad then crossed out badly. I’ve found another photo of the same man later on in numerous photos as Arthur.

Therefore William Jackson was not alive on 23 April 1920.

Was he alive on the 1919 marriage?

Answering my own question - he was not declared as deceased on Arthur's marriage cert dated April 19th 1919.

William's birth was registered Jun 1852 and the Bham death is Jun 1919, so if it is his death then if his dob was later in the year than dod then he could have still been 66.

Also, as mentioned ages were not always accurate.

If I have the right family then William's birth was reg in 1852 in Stourbridge - he states his place of birth as Halesowen on census.

whihch seems to leave us

but that means he did not attend the wedding. but would explain why he is not on the 1920 ER.

This could be it. His mothers maiden name was Baskerfield and that name in the image doesnt look right. (Bastefield) Where do I find the above image of GRO reference please?
