Trying to find Jackson

Trying to find connections to a Mary Jackson, born c.1832, Manchester. Jackson was her married name and I can find no trace of her husband as by 1881 she was widowed. She had three sons, William, born c.1856, John born 1861, and Frederick born c.1866, plus a daughter Mary Jane born 1867. I've managed to trace the descendents of William and John, but can find nothing on Frederick, Mary Jane or the elder Mary's husband. William and John were born in Manchester, but the family must have moved to Hebden Bridge at some point between the births of John and Mary as the later children were born there. They were all working in the Cotton Mills there. William married a lady called Susannah, and had at least 4 children between 1884 and 1894, Bertha, Annie M, Verney and Wilbert G in that order. William was an Iron Moulder and Susannah was from Barnsley. Again all were in the Cotton Trade. John was a mighty prolific guy; he married Elizabeth A and had 9 children between 1883 and 1900, there were, John W, Walter, Arthur, Adelaide, Cyril, May, Maude and Clara, in that order. All were born and lived and worked again in the Cotton industry in Hebden Bridge. Absolutely any information on possible connections would be a massive bonus. many thanks Jane
