If someone out there has any of these family names to share, I would very much appreciate it.

Comments:Im hoping somebody remembers or knows of a man by the last name JACKSON who in the 1911 census boared with MRS REBECCA CONRAD and her daughter HATTIE WHITNEY and her children: BEATRICE< LOUIS< ARTHUR and RUTH in Lunenburg along with a few other men from the Halifax area. I beleive the unknown Jackson man may have been from Dartmouth, but not sure. My Grandfather (WILLIAM JACKSON) was born in Blue Rocks to BERTHA TANNER and according to his baptism record , the father was WILLIAM JACKSON. I wonder if the unknown JACKSON man from the 1911 census could be my grandfathers father.He was the only JACKSON in the area at that time
Both my grandfathers parents would have been born in the range of 1880-1890. The JACKSON man in the census was born in 1883/1884 so the age would be appropriate. If anybody knew of this individual please contact me
Thanks for your time
Rhonda
