The specialist website Old Ilkeston is focused on a small town in central England but also has accumulated an extensive collection of data on the history and genealogy of the Jackson family. There you can find rich details on the early life of Thomas Jackson and also his colorful father John Jackson who feature as two of the main characters in our own websites. In addition there is also much detail about their many relatives, mainly in England but also in America.
