George was born in Chipping Norton, England to John Ackerman and Hannah White on May 19, 1925 in Chipping Norton, Oxford, England. He was married July 1, 1845 in Chipping Norton to Zelpah Busby who was born in Chipping Norton. Chipping Norton is a market town in the Cotswold Hills in the West Oxfordshire district of Oxfordshire, England, about 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Banbury and 18 miles (29 km) northwest of Oxford.
On June 30, 1849 at 24 George was baptized into the Mormon church.
From the White History:
1850 The whole White family was a religious family and it is believed they may have been a members of
the Baptist Church. The George Ackerman family joined the Mormon faith, as it was then called,
and in meeting with the White family, Edward was converted. The White family accepted the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints beliefs which the missionaries taught. Edward was a very religious man
and was one of the first to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) at Birmingham
in England. He did missionary work in the village where he was born.
1851 Jan. 10th Edward White and Sarah Spink White (Hyla’s widow who was born 1816 at Bloxwich), are
listed on the LDS Branch at Birmingham, as both were re-baptized by P. Tame and Edward was confirmed
by E. Bridges, Edward is listed as a bridle cutter. Edward was previously baptized by George Ackerman
(086,981 & 415,456). From the Edward White history, by Alona S. Perkes
In the 1861 and 1871 censuses he was a sheet metal corrugator and in 1880 he was a green grocer in Lady
Wood, Birmingham.
George no longer shows up in the Birmingham city directories after 1888 so it is assumed he immigrated about that time with his daughter Zelpha's family. (Charles and Zelpha Boylin)
George's daughter Nellie was baptized August 2, 1902 in SLC. She was confirmed the next day. Nellie was 24 and 8 months old. 3 1/2 months later on November 21 her grandfather George Ackerman died of pneumonia at 77. He died at 819 Spruce Street, SLC and was buried two days later in the SLC Cemetery.
Here is what this means for Nellie. When she was baptized in 1902, none of her siblings were members. Her parents were not members and her maternal grandmother was not a member. The only member was her maternal grandfather George Ackerman. 3 and 1/2 months after her baptism the only other member in her family, George Ackerman, died.
Nellie was one of eight children. One died at birth. Of the remaining 6 children, all joined between 1904 and 1927.
