He may have been born in 1780 the son of James Jackson I (Grimwade p.310, 343).
There are christening records at St Luke, Finsbury from 1801-1810 for four children of James and Sarah Jackson. None of these records show an address or father’s occupation but later information indicates they are children of James Jackson II, the watch case maker.
The christening of their son Samuel at St Sepulchre, Holborn in 1811 shows their address as Fleet Market.
Further christening records for two more of their children at St Luke’s show their address as Norman Street in 1814 and as Old Street in 1818, both showing their father as a watch case maker.
An undated document indexed to 1825-6 containing an application for freedom by patrimony in the Goldsmiths Company by James, the son of James Jackson II, notes he was born in 1780 and that his father was made free in 1771. His somewhat late application may indicate his father had retired or died around this time.
Indentures to be his father’s apprentice were signed in 1827 by Samuel, the son of James Jackson II of the Goldsmiths Company and of 10 Norman Street.
James II or his son James III entered marks at Goldsmiths Hall as a watch case maker from that address in 1832 and 1839.
He was not recorded resident at this address on the 1841 UK Census and no further information has been found for him.
