The two children died -
John Henry aged 30 in 1898 and Sophia in 1896. Emma died as Emma Mayor in 1906 and John Mayor died in 1908, both in Stretford. My grandfather must have known them as they lived there. Thankyou Kiterunner for finding them for me. I just need to find William now...

Just in case you didn't know, Skircoat Green is part of Halifax. I don't think there's another Skircoat in Yorkshire.

Mary thank you - we were up there about 18 months ago and stayed in Halifax.
Sophia Jackson, nee Stillings, lived at Bolton Brow just outside Halifax where her father was a corn miller. We also went to Sowerby and also Heptonstall where the Jackson family originally came from. What an amazing place!

Yes, Heptonstall's fascinating. I used to work in Hebden Bridge, so I know it quite well.

I don't think it's going to be so easy to find William especially since he may well have changed his occupation after 1871.

Kiterunner, I agree with you. I'm resigned to the fact that I may never find him! I have tried searching using various places of birth such as "Halifax", "Greetland" and "Skircoat" as appear for his siblings, but nothing seems to help.
I also wonder whether he emigrated, not that I have any basis for this.
