From Jackson family history (Eaton Bray, Beds) we discovered that Ethel Jackson, a dressmaker became a companion to Lady Rhoda Birley. She returned to the village on retirement. Any other information would be appreciated. We do know an elder brother was a 1st class Boot Steward & was lost on the "Titanic".
