ROGER JACKSON'S DORSET AND SOMERSET ANCESTORS



My Great Great Grandparents ISAAC and SUSANNA GALE (née Gale) at POWERSTOCK, Dorset, in 1903. Their daughter EMMA, one of 13 children, moved to London and married Thomas William Howard in 1879. Their daughter Harriet Annie Howard was the mother of my father A.J. Jackson

   
My Great Grandparents GILBERT and MATILDA HANN (née Bishop). Both were born at MONTACUTE, SOMERSET in 1840. They moved to London along with other members of their families in the 1860s. Gilbert and Matilda's son Claud William Hann married Margaretta Frances Milnes at Wandsworth in 1902 and their sixth child was my mother Marjorie.




At Montacute in the 19th century and in the first years of the 20th century both the Hann and Bishop families were involved in the running of the three stone quarries on Ham Hill. The above picture shows my great great uncle William Bishop at his quarry on Ham Hill circa 1903. At this time William Bishop was living at Putney in South West London where he was a leading builder. Both William Bishop and Gilbert Hann, who was also a builder in the area, used some Ham Stone in their constructions.
