I've been gathering any information I can on Jacob(s) in that area trying to see how they might relate to mine. Although sometimes Jacobs is spelled without the "s" and vice versa, our family name is Jacob. In hunting down the ancestors I have found both Jacob and Jacobs as distinct families or even within one family or from document to document. I don't know whether they descend from the one family, with spelling variations along the way.
In 1841 Sunbury was quite a separate town to Hanworth and my ancestors lived in both towns and a couple of others.
My ancestor, of the same generation as the above John Jacobs who married Mary Crafts, was Edward Jacob born 1807 in Feltham close to Hanworth. His parents were William and Sarah (Sally) Jacob.
