HI I HAVE BEEN RAISED BY A MAN NAMED BEATTY GEORGE JACKSON. I NEVER MET MY GRAND FATHER BUT MY GRANDFATHER WAS A MINING ENGINEER WHO STUDIED AT OXFORD. HE WAS IN THE ROYAL MILITARY. I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT HE JUMPED SHIP IN VANCOUVER AND DESERTED AND STARTED GOING BY THE NAME OF GEORGE JACKSON. HE ALSO HAD A BROTHER THAT FOLLOWED HIM HERE AND SETTLED IN WINNIPEG. TO MY KNOWLEDGE BOTH WERE BORN IN BELFAST, ANTRIM, NORTHERN IRELAND. THE BROTHER KEPT THE NAME SCOTT. MY FATHER BEATTY WAS NAMED AFTER THE ADMIRAL ON THE SHIP. GRANDFATHER WAS BORN IN 1884 AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAD NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH FAMILY IN IRELAND. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE. THE RELATIVE IN WINNIPEG HAS SINCE DIED AND I HAVE HIT A DEAD END. CAN YOU CHECK MILITARY RECORDS OR OXFORD. HE WAS VERY SMART AND WELL EDUCATED.
