5. Parish Register of St John the Baptist's, Tideswell includes the entry:
   [1812, Baptisms] Aug^t 12 Martha, Daug^r of George & Jane Jackson of Little Hucklow
   Martha was apparently baptised twice, because the Parish Register of St Peter's, Hope (transcript by Val Neal) also includes the entry:
   Baptised Martha Jackson, daughter of George & Jane Jackson of Little Hucklow, 14/9/1812
   Double check that the Hope entry wasn't her burial

7. Parish Register of St Peter's, Hope (transcript by Val Neal) includes the entry:
   Buried Edward, aged 10, son of George Jackson of Little Hucklow, 3/5/1815. The age must be an error and should be 1 rather than 10. This needs checking.

17. Death Certificate from Registration District of Bakewell states:

    When and where died	Name	Sex	Age	Occupation	Cause of death	Signature, description and residence of informant	When registered
    Twenty- sixth November 1840 at Little Hucklow	Sarah Jackson	Female	29 years	Wife of John Jackson Miner	Phthisis	the mark of Jane Jackson Present at the death Little Hucklow	Twenty second of January 1842

    Note: The death appears to have been registered 14 months after it happened. The registrar at Bakewell assures me the death is definitley recorded as 1840, and the registration definitely took place as 1842. She said that she imagined the death must have really been 1841, but this cannot be the case as the burial was in 1840 ^(QQQ). There must have been some reason for the excessive delay in registering the death, but we're unlikely to find out what it was.
