ESPNscrum states Walter Jesse Jackson's date and place of death as being 1 December 1958 in Halifax, FreeBMD quotes the death as being registered during January–March 1959 in [[Leeds]] district. If the date of birth on ESPNscrum is correct, this would have made him 88 at the time of his death, however FreeBMD quotes the age at death as being 87.

Walter Jesse Jackson (16 March 1870[3] – 1 December 1958)[4][2] was an English rugby union forward, and wing who played international rugby for the British Isles, and England.

Rugby career

Jackson was born in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, and he died aged 88 in Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire

Rugby career

Jackson first came to note as a rugby player while representing Gloucester. In 1891 Jackson accepted an invitation to join the British Isles on their tour to South Africa, the first official tour by the team that later became the British Lions. It is unknown if Jackson joined the tour party late, was unwell or just not chosen to play, but he missed the first four matches of the tour, not playing until the team faced Griqualand West at Kimberley on Monday 20 July 1891.[1] From there he played in four of the next six games though missing the First Test against South Africa. His final match of the tour was against a King William's Town & District team, played on 6 August, despite there being a further 11 matches remaining.

On returning to Britain Jackson continued playing rugby, but between 1891 and 1894, switched from Gloucester to Halifax,[5] who were at the time still a rugby union team. It was while representing Halifax that Jackson was selected for his one and only appearance for the England national team. Played away against Scotland, Jackson was brought into the England team for the final match of the 1894 Home Nations Championship, but after playing in the pack for the British Isles, was placed on the wing for England. The match ended in defeat for England, their first loss in five visits to Scotland; and the English selectors reacted by never selecting nine of the England players again, Jackson being one of them.

Change of Code

When Halifax converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code on Thursday 29 August 1895, Walter Jesse Jackson would have been approximately 25 years of age. Consequently, he may have been both a rugby union, and rugby league footballer for Halifax.
