Only five of the following JACKSONs are not included in the Jacksons
of Ballyboy Family Tree. Some look suspiciously as if they might be. It is
wise to bear in mind that Birr and Parsonstown aka Parsons
town are often interchangeable and the two parishes border each other. There are plenty of mentions of Parsonstown in the Ballyboy tree, and plenty of mentions of Birr in the ones that
are not yet seen to be connected to that tree. More work is needed, but I am
going cross-eyed already.
