NOTES & QUERIES: 1) The Edward HARRISON referred to above presumably married James EDGOOSE's sister ELIZABETH in about 1661 but the Surfleet registers and transcripts are missing for the period 1640-1661.
2) James EDGOOSE's father Robert EDGOOSE was godson of a Robert HARRISON.
3) How was his sister JACKSON related to him? Did his sister Joan marry JACKSON?
4) Richard JACKSON married Dyna WILLIAMSON of Spalding at Pinchbeck on 24 November 1653. Dinah wife of Richard JACKSON of Pinchbeck was buried at Gosberton on 26 April 1665.
4) How was his sister JACKSON related to him? Did his sister Joan marry JACKSON?
