I hope you have got over your wading. A lot of the information I have
given you recently is thanks to your brilliant website.
Elizabeth said she was 19 when she married. If the birth certificate is
the right one she was 16, if the bible was right she was 18. Mmm....
I had a look at similar bibles on eBay and they seem to vary between
£20 and £80, though none of them had bids even at those prices. It wasn't
my intention to put the price up :-)
I worked this out last night and it might amuse you. My husband says the
inbreeding explains a lot .
Job WIllis married Hannah Pashley. They had a daughter Sarah. Job died
and Hannah married his brother Matthew Willis. They had eight children,
including Ann and Elizabeth.
Resulting in:
Matthew Willis was the step father of Sarah Willis and he was also her uncle.
Matthew Willis was the husband of Hannah Pashley and also her brother-in-law.
Ann and Elizabeth Willis were half sisters to Sarah and also her cousins.
Ann Willis married Isaac Jackson (she already had a son George before
marriage) and Elizabeth Willis married Daniel Jackson (two sisters married
two brothers).
Resulting in:
Ann and Elizabeth Willis were sisters and sister-in-laws.
Isaac and Daniel Jackson were brothers and brother-in-laws.
Daniel (junior, son of Daniel and Elizabeth) was a cousin to his wife
Elizabeth Cutts and to John Leonard Jackson, who was also his brother-in-law.
Ada (daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth) was a cousin to her husband John Leonard
Jackson and to Elizabeth Cutts who was also her sister-in-law.
There will also have been relationship implications re: the older generation
(father of Matthew and Job Willis) and the next generation down, ie the
children of Daniel and Elizabeth, Ada and John. It will also have impacted
on the other Willis and Jackson siblings and their children. And on, and on ..........
Well I thought it was funny!

I have been in touch with my fellow Willis/Jackson researchers are we are
still of the opinion that Elizabeth Willis was most likely the sister of
Ann Willis and that two sisters did marry two brothers. Certainly a few
of the Jacksons married their cousins. Looking at the wedding entry in
the parish registers for St Werburgh's, Derby it appears that her father's
surname was corrected and his Christian name was given as Michal and not
Matthew. Elizabeth signed her own name but Daniel and his witnesses
(Richard and Sarah Jackson) all signed by a mark. Both Daniel and Elizabeth
were living in Abbey Street, Derby at the time of their marriage - Daniel
was a labourer and Elizabeth a servant. The Jacksons were living in
Wirksworth and the Willis family lived at The Chevin, Belper. There is no
other Elizabeth Willis in the records and there isn't a Michal/Michael
Willis anywhere. Elizabeth would have been 16, so I think she added two
years to her age and fudged her father's name to avoid the problem of her
getting her father's consent. This would explain the difference in date of
birth given in the bible and on her birth certificate.
Their son Daniel Jackson married Elizabeth Cutts 18 July 1892 at Eckington,
Derbyshire. Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas Cutts from Edingley,
Nottinghamshire and Sarah, nee Willis (half sister to Daniel's mother
Elizabeth, nee Willis). So they were half cousins.
So far I have found these Jackson children:
Alice Elizabeth, 1892, Eckington
Mabel, 1894, Eckington
Ada Louise, 1897, Eckington
Thomas Cutts, 1900, Eckington
Violet Beatrice, 1908, Kirkby-in-Ashfield
Ada Maria Jackson married her cousin John Leonard Jackson 12 July 1899 at
Wirksworth. John was the son of Richard Jackson from Wirksworth (Richard
was the brother of Isaac and Daniel Jackson).
So far I have found these Jackson children:
May Willis, 1901, Westhouses, Derbyshire
John Leonard D, 1905, East Kirkby, Nottinghamshire.
Both Daniel Jackson (junior) and John Leonard Jackson were coal miners and
both families were living in Kirkby-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire by 1911.
So all four, ie Daniel, Elizabeth, John and Ada were cousins to each other.

Hello John,
Thankyou.
Got through first time - maybe because I tried in the early hours when
local broadband is not so busy.
We have notoriously slow broadband and the local councillors are pressing
for upgrade in service as so many people working from the village nowdays!
Guess the Thatcher Funeral caused overload.
I have taken a quick look at some of the Census entries you have highlighted
and there are so many neighbouring surnames that link with my researches
who later appear in the Crich, S. Wingfield, Alfreton and then on to Radford,
Nottingham areas.
The common denominator seems to be that they were strictly Non Conformist
Dissenters.
I will come back to you when I have something concrete for you to add to
your page.
The marriage for Daniel Junior was
Marriages Sep 1892
Cutts Elizabeth Chesterfield 7b 1051
JACKSON Daniel Chesterfield 7b 1051
I have found him as a lodger aged 25 at Colliery Yard, Eckington in 1891,
with wife and children at Spring Lane, in 1901 at Eckington, and at
Kirkby in Ashfield in 1911 with 5 offspring, including a Sarah Ann Jackson
age 26 who was not in the 1901 census.
[The Jackson family first came into my Cutts researches at Chesterfield,
moved through Blidworth, and Mansfield into the villages around Southwell.]
Regards
Mavis

How I would love that bible, but it is a bit out of my league.
Daniel's brother Isaac was my great great grandfather. Isaac married
Ann Willis and Daniel married Elizabeth Willis. Ann's father was
Matthew Willis and she did have a sister Elizabeth. In the marriage
entry in the parish registers Elizabeth's father's name is difficult to
read, though it does not look like Matthew (it could be Michal. No Michael
appears on the census returns) and I had thought this was a mistake -
particularly as the bride, groom and both witnesses could only sign the
register with their mark so would not be able to read the entry. I have
a copy of the birth certificate of Elizabeth, sister of Ann, and the date
does not tally with the bible, so I am now thinking it was a different
Elizabeth Willis. I had thought two brothers had married two sisters.
With regard to Daniel's siblings I have some more/different information
for you:
MARY
Bapt: Wesleyan Cromford Circuit, 1 November 1829
Married: 1856 to William Bridgwood, a labourer born Kniveton.
They first lived in Riddings, then Greenhill, Dale and 4 Church Yard in
Wirksworth. He was a stonemason’s labourer while they lived in Wirksworth.
The marriage you have is for a different Mary, ie her niece Mary, daughter
of her brother Richard.
SARAH
Born c 1844 Wirksworth
Married:1866 to Joseph Brailsford, born 1843, Wirksworth. He was an
agricultural labourer and they lived at Bolehill, Wirksworth.
