THE JACKMAN BRANCH

The Jackman branch starts with Alice Jackman⁽²⁷²⁾ who married William Currer⁽²⁷¹⁾ at Skipton-in-Craven in 1681. The marriage register of Skipton parish church indicates that they were both of Skipton parish, but although Jackman is a common name in the Skipton parish register, I have found no baptismal record of an Alice Jackman and indeed there is no IGI record of an appropriate baptism anywhere in England at present. The pedigree drawn up by Foster (1874) gives no date of birth or baptism for Alice, nor does it name her father, so presumably the information was not available at that time either. Thus her parents are not known, nor where she originally came from.

Foster (1874) says she was buried on 14 Aug 1690, not long after her infant son William, followed six months later by her husband. There is a burial entry in the Skipton parish register for 14 Aug 1690 which says simply:
