JACKSON, JAMES
Driver had previously worked for the London & Birmingham Railway Company in 1837, and had been discharged servant from this company, this is recorded in 1837 (recorded in the inquiry into the Copyhold Cutting in October 1841.
*Driver James Jackson had previously been employed as an engine driver since the early part of 1837, by the London & Birmingham company. After being discharged from this company in c1838, Driver James Jackson later found employment with the London & Brighton Railway, were he was originally employed driving construction trains on the Brighton to Shoreham line.
Worked the first passenger train out of Brighton on Monday 11th May, 1840, with opening off the line.
Involved in the Copyhold Cutting in October 1841.
The surname “Jackson” is quite common and there appear to be a number who worked for the L.B.& S.C.R. including these early years making research more difficult – especially when contemporary press reports often do not quote a Christian name.
The Brian Jackson family history includes James Jackson, his great-grand uncle, born in Little Woolton (family later moving to Roby) in Lancashire in 1814; Roby was a station on the original Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The Jackson Family history records that he came south with the first engine for the London & Brighton Railway bringing it down to Camden and latterly being employed on the engine for the construction of the line and then the first train to Shoreham on the opening day.
It appears that he lived in Southwick and was married in Southwick in 1840 (the marriage certificate records his occupation as “Engineer”) where his son was born. He later moved to Brighton.
Family history does refer to him working for the London & Birmingham Railway but we have no further details. He was certainly involved in the Copyhold incident in 1841 plus some others, and was a passenger on one of the trains involved in the Clayton Tunnel disaster rescuing a number of passengers.
It is thought he may have been apprenticed to one of the early Lancashire loco builders but it is not clear which. Jones, Turner and Evans, however, were located at the Viaduct Works at Newton-le-Willows which was alongside the Liverpool & Manchester Railway line so could be a possibility.
Although there has been some debate in the early loco histories of the L.B.& S.C.R., it now seems to be accepted that the first two London & Brighton Railway locos, “Brighton” and “Shoreham” were built by Jones Turner and Evans.
So there is a possible link. James Jackson did not remain in the employ of the London & Brighton Railway for that long and established his own engineering business in the London Road/Ann Street/Providence Place area of Brighton.
His obituary in 1874 (he was killed by a falling boiler being installed in a Horsham brewery) confirms him to have been the driver of the first train to Shoreham ( Hastings and St Leonards Observer - Saturday 14 June 1873) This also refers to his involvement in the rescue of victims of the Clayton Tunnel crash.I think it is evident that the Census were not always consistent in the recording of professions / jobs and in the early days, maybe “Engineer” and “engine driver” where not consistently stated.
James had several brothers who also joined him in Sussex and were employed by the L.B.& S.C.R. along with his father, but that is a further storey for another time.
