I have found it hard to find births for them all as Jackson is such a common name.

I would like to try to find some descendants.

Starting by hoping that Mary Jane got married at the same church as Sarah Eliza did (St John, Manchester) there are a couple of possible marriages for her between 1861 and 1871:
1866 to William H Whittle or 1867 to John Mayor.

Off to try 1871 census for those...

Thanks Kate!
They have frustrated me so much over the past few years. Just finding my great-grandmother's birth certificate was tricky.

John Mayor Head Mar 26 Maker Up Lancashire Preston
Mary J Do Wife Mar 24 Yorkshire Halifax

1871 to William Morris

They may not have actually got married, since it would have been illegal.
