Hadley Charles Jackson, born October 4, 1871, was the son of Charles Hamilton Jackson, a Coloured solicitor, who became Speaker of the House of Assembly, Administrator General of the Island of Jamaica, and Custos of St. Catherine, where he died on the 14th April 1878, aged 60 years.
Hadley Charles Jackson passed matriculation for London University in 1890, and the preliminary examination there in biology in July 1891. So far I have found no information on any further university career.
H C Jackson seems to have left virtually no further trace, until he died in Masaka, Uganda, on February 15, 1900, aged 28. He was buried in the cemetery of St Paul's, Namirembe.
