Born of a good Yorkshire family on January 4th, 1823, the son of John Jackson, surgeon, Paradise Street, Rotherham; he went to Merchant Taylors' School at Crosby, and was then apprenticed to James Garstang (qv), of Lytham, Lancashire, a well-known practitioner and county magistrate. After that he was a student at St Thomas's Hospital, and was dresser to Joseph Henry Green (qv). He was appointed House Surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital, then Assistant Surgeon; but subsequently was elected Surgeon to the Great Northern Hospital, where he was a most efficient member both of the staff and of the Executive Committee. A good anatomist and a bold and skilful operator, he performed lithotomy on twenty-eight patients without a mishap.
