Christopher Jackson family

Surnames: Jackson & Marshall
I have found a bit more information on the Christopher Jackson family I have been researching. I have found that 2 sons were born and also 1 daughter in Lindsay, Ontario.
Richard- 1860
Robert- 1856
Sarah- 1855

Other children-
Joseph- 1846
John- 1848
George- 1853
I do not know where they were born.

I have found them living in Perth in the 1861 census but have not been able to find them in the 1851 census.
Christopher b 1815 England married Elizabeth Marshall b. 1820 Canada. I would like to find a marriage date & parents for both Christopher & Elizabeth. Any further information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Donna

Here is a family tree on Ancestry that may or may not be your Jacksons.
http://trees.ancestry.ca/tree/32477691/person/18306505973
It says they were married in England in 1850.

From Wesleyan Baptisms
Perth county, Elma Tsp, Richard Jackson, b 19 July 1859, christened 15 Sep 1860, s/o Christopher & Elizabeth Jackson.
Living and born Elma Tsp.
That is the only christening I found for any of their children on the site.
Elma Tsp is in Perth County not near town/city of Perth Ontario.

There is a five year gap between births of John, 13, and George 8. Could Elizabeth be a second wife?

1861 census is for Perth County, not city of Perth Ontario.

The children's marriage or death registrations should list where they were born. Also maybe Christopher's death may have his parents listed.

Thank you. Yes, I believe you are correct that there was a 2nd wife. Makes sense especially due to the gap in ages.
I do not have access to Ancestry & will have to just post queries.

Sorry for not being more clear about Perth. You are right.

There is no information on the death of Christopher & I can find his wife. They were in Allegan Michigan. One son was from Kibbie Mi.

Getting closer though! Perhaps I can find more on the children born in Lindsay.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. Ours doesn't unfortunately. They do have Heritage Quest so that is something.
This family is my sister-in-law's and she does have Ancestry. I am just trying to help her out as I have been doing this a while & she is just starting out.
