His father was taking advantage of the large amountof holly that grew there at this time, which was used to make birdlime, a profitable business. The familymoved back to the Penistonearea about the timeof the death of his grandfather Abraham in 1804and in 1810 he travelled to Dublin to study medicine.After his marriage to Louisa he began to practice medicine inSheffield and raised 10 children, all of whom survived to adulthood.He became a respectedand prominent member of the medical professionin Sheffield, founding the first Medical School and being invovled inthe founding of the first Hospital for Women in the Town. He was alsoon the Town Council and on the board of the General Cemetery.He diedin 1867 and is buried in the General Cemetery Sheffield. (Plot L34).OBITUARY OF WILLIAM JACKSON - Sheffield Telegraph - 1867In our obituary this morning we announce the death of the abovegentleman, which took place on Saturday at his residence,Sunny Side,Broomhill. The fact of his being the senior medical practitioner, andthe professional position he occupied inthis town for a long seriesof years, renders necessary something more than an ordinary notice ofthe event. Mr Jackson had completed his 77th year; he had been amember of his profession more than half a century and in actualpractice since 1812. He was best known to the generation which haspassed and is fast passing away.The deceased gentleman had beeninduced to withdraw,inagreat measure, from active duties by asevere and most painful malady which overtook him some fifteen yearsago, and under which he has since passed a life of suffering which hismedicalfriends and advisors have never seen equalled, and for whichthere was no remedy but that rest where all human sufferingterminates. He was apprenticed to Mr Webb, one of the surgeons to theSheffield Infirmary, and afterwards educated in Dublin,in the days ofits greatest celebrity as a school of anatomy, surgery,and especiallymidwifery. To the latter subject he gave more attention in its mostimportantdetails than was normal at that time, and his position as anintern at the greatLying-in-Hospital of that city gave him aknowledge which was of great advantagein after life in extending hispractice to the benefit of the public, and very often, indeed, to thegreat satisfaction of those of his contemporaries, who consulted himand availed themselves of his assistance in grave emergencies. Thesoundnessof hisjudgement, his operative dexterity, and the readinesswith which such aid was afforded, will, we doubt not, be gratefullyacknowledged by thoseof the profession who survive him. After theusual years of waiting andstudy common to men who areto takerank intheir profession, he became most extensively consulted in thetown andneighbourhood and continued a large and lucrative practice until about1853,when, as we have already stated, his health failed, and partialretirement became a necessity. Itwasprincipally at the bedside wherehis higher qualificationswere manifested; and in the opinion of thosewho knew him best during the zenith of his career, there perhaps neverwas a man who was in all departments of his art his superior.Strongbodily health, indomitable energy, and untiring industry, of courselent their substantial aid to success. It was not only in this courseofactiveusefulness however that he distinguishedhimself. Hecontributed frequently to the medical periodicalpress of the time,and his researches in some branchesof physiology obtained for him acomplimentary notice from Sir Charles Bell, the greatestdiscoverer ofhis age in that department of science. He also, as we believe itsarchives show, first inauguratedthe idea ofthe present MedicalSchool of this town - at all events, he was one of the most activefounders, as well as one of itsearliest lecturers, having for manyyears filled with greatsuccess the chair of anatomy conjointly withthe late MrSamuelGregory.In literary and generallife he also tookhis part, having been president, as well as curator, of the SheffieldLiterary and Philosophical Society. For some time he was a member ofthe Town Council, but retired from public life on account ofthe timeand attention itabsorbed from more congenial pursuits. He was alsofor a considerable period chairmanof theBoard of the CemeteryCompany, who on his retirement, paid him the compliment to cause hislikeness to be obtained and placed in their board-room.Alikemark ofesteem was also awarded to him by a large number of his medicalbrethren, onthe occasionof his retirement from the active exerciseof his profession. His removal from this life, though a relief fromveryheavy suffering, isnot unattended by theregrets of a largenumber of friends, and the grief of a domestic circle to whichhe wasentirely devoted.
