Transciption:	Obituary NWN 12/7/1883 THE LATE MR. CHARLES JACKSON. - It is with much regret we have to announce the decease of our townsman, Mr. Charles Jackson, who in conjunction with his father, Mr. Alderman Jackson, has for some years carried on business in the Market-place. Mr. Jackson has for a considerable time been in failing health, and notwithstanding the best efforts of his medical advisers, and change of air and scene, he succumbed to the insidious malady from which he has suffered on Monday, in London whence he had travelled to consult his physician, from Eastbourne, where he had been staying in order to derive benefit from the sea air. Mr. Jackson has been prominently connected with the Volunteer Rifle Corps, being frequently successful in gaining valuable prizes. He was also one of the trustees of the Municipal Charities, and was elected as one of the Governors of the New Grammar School, at which Board, however, he has never taken his seat. It is needless to say that deep sympathy is felt with his sorrowing family, Mr. Jackson being in the prime of life, and until recently regarded as of sound and vigorous constitution. The funeral will take place to-morrow at the Cemetery. The age of the deceased was 36 years at the time of death. NB Died in London. Second surviving son of J P Jackson
	This obituary entry is awaiting verification.

Charles Jackson

Notes from Mike Jackson, who lives in Jersey (Gt. Gt. Gd. son of James Porteus Jackson (mayor of Newbury in 1857))

He explains that he has some family graves in the Newtown road cemetery.

There is a Jackson vault on the west side numbered W141. When he last visited 10 years ago it was starting to 'spall' but he made a note of the inscriptions. His great, great grandfather James Porteous Jackson (mayor of Newbury in 1857) and several of his children are the principal occupants.

Ch 8(a) holds his great grandfather Charles Jackson died 1883 aged 36 and his wife Mary,

P(1) holds Alice Jackson wife of his grandfather’s brother Herbert

and Ch 4 (e) holds Maria Darling, his great grandmother's mother.

There are other Jacksons reposing in the St.Nicholas churchyard and they're the previous generations.

Mike has a suspicion that the ironmongery business was sold after my great grandfather Charles Jackson died at an early age of 36 in 1883. He appeared to be running the business and in his will he decreed that his affairs be administered by trustees. He presumes it wasn't considered appropriate for his widow to be running an ironmongery! (

It became an ironmongers run by Edwards and Godding - see photo (it is now Cancer Research)

Mike recalls his late grandmother recounting that Charles died of consumption after being put in a damp bed in Germany presumably on business.

NB There were 2 Jacksons in Newbury the other being Alfred Jackson. For a while they lived next door to each other in houses in St John's Road.

Both were Mayors.

Alfred's shop was about 2/3 doors away from the town hall on the market side in what was about 30 years ago was Daniels shop. It then became La Stada Restaurant. Strangely, these 2 shops are almost next to each other with just one shop separating them Mike has never found a connection with his Jackson side and Alfred Jackson to date but it almost seems as though there should be!
