  Tabanus: John Jackson according to Di Felice, but who is John Jackson?

Feb-16-24  Alan McGowan: The January 1953 BCM, p11, records his death in Sheffield on 20 November 1952, aged about 70.

English records show the death in Sheffield of a John Jackson, aged 71, in the last quarter of 1952.

Birth records give his dob as 17 October 1881 at Whygill Head, Asby, Westmorland, the son of Robert Jackson and Elizabeth Austin.

The Penrith Observer of 25 November 1952, p1, says Mr Jackson had lived at Caldbeck [Cumbria, England] for 40 years before moving in with his sister in Sheffield, where he died. No date of death was given.

He was the son of the late Robert Jackson of Bridge End, Caldbeck, was educated at Appleby Grammar School, won the Hastings Exhibition at 16, and had a distinguished career at Queen's College, Oxford.

CN 8963 noted a letter from J. Jackson, Caldbeck, on p130 of the June 1941 CHESS in which he referred to a cc 'trick.' https://www.chesshistory.com/winter...

He won the Irish Correspondence Chess Championship four times, in consecutive years 1944 through 1947. http://homepage.tinet.ie/~icca/iccc...

When the International Correspondence Chess Association was formed in 1946 - later the ICCF - he was a member of the British six-player team that took part in the cc Olympics. (BCM June 1946, p177).

According to the BCM, Jackson was known to several clubs in England's Lake District. As late as season 1951/52 he played for Cumberland & Westmorland in the BCF Counties CC Tournament, defeating JM Craddock (Bedfordshire) on first board. http://www.cumbriachess.com/Documen...

He is mentioned several times in Tim Harding's 'Correspondence Chess in Britain and Ireland 1824-1987. He is shown as British CC Association champion 1911-12.
