Thomas Jackson & Sons

Thomas Jackson was born of Quaker parents in Waterford in 1807 and was articled to George Dymond in Bristol before moving to Belfast in 1829 to become the partner of Thomas Duff in his established branch office.

He entered into practice with his sons Anthony and William circa 1867 (as ‘Thomas Jackson & Son‘ and ‘Thomas Jackson & Sons‘) but that Anthony practised independently from circa 1870, probably from 1869 when he designed the new Belfast Town Hall. William remained with his father for several years, probably as late as 1881 based on Irish Builder attributions – before emigrating to Australia. Thomas Jackson appears to have done very little work after this and died in 1890.
