John Willington Jackson was born in about 1831. He was the only son of William Jackson and Charlotte Willington. His mother may have died soon after his birth.

In about 1852 or 1853, John emigrated from Ireland to Australia. His father William’s Last Will and Testament was dated 2 February 1866, and included the following extract:

“The interest accruing yearly upon said principal sum to be paid to my kind and affectionate sister-in-law Eliza Willington…… and at her demise to my son John Willington Jackson all principal sum or sums now suppose to be residing in Melbourne, from where his last letters home bore date.”

His father died on 9 January 1867 at about age 69.
