Dinah Burrows was born April 24, 1847 at Woolsthorpe, Colsterworth, near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. She was the eldest child of George Burrows of Woolsthorpe and Abigail Ann Brown. At eighteen, she went to London and served in a family doing household duties. The family lived in East London near Victoria Park, and from the window of her upstairs bedroom she could see most of the beautiful park, that was kept up for the benefit of the people at large.
One night instead of attending a local church as expected of her, she ran to Shepherds' Bush and was baptized by Elder Jacob Pierce.
She was careful and economical and saved enough from her earnings to pay her transportation to America. After a short visit to her parents in Woolsthorpe, she left for America on the good ship "Celia Ada" in 1869 that sailed from South Hampton. They anchored at Harve, France for two days. While waiting there, she wrote letters to her folks at home; also to her former mistress in London.
She was three weeks on the ocean and finally landed in New York on July 1860 near Castle Gardens. Her funds being exhausted, she had to stay in New York and earn enough to pay for her transportation to Utah. She married Thomas Jackson in the Endowment House in Salt Lake City on March 4, 1871.
Dinah died October 12, 1937 at the home of her daughter Lydia, 544 West, 3rd North Street, Salt Lake City, Utah and was buried in the Glenwood Cemetery in the Jackson family plot, October 15, 1937. She was the mother of nine children.
