Joseph Jackson, Gardener, listed as son of Joseph Jackson, Mariner, married Charlotte Bland (b. 23 Feb 1820 and baptised on 30 Mar 1820 at St Alfege's Church, Greenwich - Henry VIII was baptised in a previous church on the site), daughter of Thomas and Sarah Bland (There's a note on her baptism, Pn, which denotes Poor Note, believed to be a note from the poorhouse to pay for the baptism. Greenwich's first parish workhouse was opened in 1724, next door to St Alfege's Church) at St Paul's, Deptford on 26 Aug 1838.
This marriage had produced two daughters:
- Julia Jackson b. 2 Nov 1839, bap. 4 Dec 1839 at St Paul's, Deptford. Died 1840 S Quarter in GREENWICH UNION Volume 05 Page 130
- Rebecca Jackson b. 1841 D Quarter in GREENWICH Vol 05 Page 184
In 1841, Charlotte Jackson (21) was living in Church Street, St Paul Deptford, with Elizabeth Millard (75) who may have been a boarder or lodger. On the original census schedule, next to Charlotte's name instead of an occupation, is written "Wife of Joseph Jackson", so we can be in no doubt this is her.
There is a death of a Joseph Jackson (26) in Greenwich in 1842 M Quarter in GREENWICH UNION Volume 05 Page 155.
William George Maslin (bap. 28 Mar 1819 in Deptford), son of John and Elizabeth Maslin, married the widowed Charlotte Jackson, by then 24, at All Saints Church, Poplar, in the second quarter of 1844.
William and Charlotte Maslin had six children:- Joseph Maslin b. 3 Aug 1845, bap. 14 Sep 1845 at St Paul's, Deptford
- William George Maslin b. 13 Jan 1848 M Quarter in GREENWICH UNION Volume 05 Page 227, bap. 31 Oct 1852 in Deptford. (Baptism transcription put his birth in Jun, but this cannot be correct as his birth had been registered in the March quarter. Thus must be Jan.)
- Elizabeth Sarah Maslin b. 19 May 1850 in GREENWICH Volume 05 Page 205, bap. 4 Aug 1850 at St Paul's, Deptford.
- Unnamed female child b. 1852 D Quarter in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 476, presume died, or stillborn (no corresponding death found).

- James Maslin b. 12 Sep 1857 in GREENWICH Volume 01D Page 512, bap. 15 Nov 1857 at St Paul's, Deptford
Mother's maiden surname on the five with civil registrations is BLAND.
