[10] George Brown (1877-1936) of Killynure, Co. Armagh, 3^rd son of Thompson BROWN and Elizabeth JACKSON, a sister of Thomas Jackson. He stayed on at the farm but never married. His niece Dorothy recalls him saying "No way he could bring a wife to Killynure because mother, and sisters Blin, and Mary were all there." Not to mention Lizzie the maid. His two older brothers were bankers and brokers in the Far East, and his sister married Samuel GILMORE, another HSBC banker, and later a broker. George was likely the only family member who was free to attend the funeral.

[11] Aka David GILMORE (1878-1959), son of Eliezer GILMORE and Sarah JACKSON, a sister of Thomas Jackson. He was a farmer at the family farm at Liscalgot, Co. Armagh.

[12] G.F. WRIGHT This is probably James Francis WRIGHT, who married one of Thomas Jackson’s nieces in Hong Kong, Mary MENARY, daughter of William MENARY and Mary JACKSON, a sister of Thomas Jackson. He was also a banker-broker in the Far East, and had also been with HSBC early in his career.

[13] Aka John Andrew McCULLAGH, youngest son of Andrew Bradford McCULLAGH and Margaret JACKSON, sister of Thomas Jackson.

His father was a paymaster in the Crimean war, and then a successful London wine merchant. Walter continued on as Chairman of W & A Gilbey Ltd. NOTE: See connection to Walter Gilbey GOLD.

[15] James BLYTH was the 1st Baron Blyth (1841–1925) and was also a Director of the wine mercantile firm of W & A Gilbey Ltd..

[21] John Annan BRYCE (1841-1923), a contemporary of Thomas Jackson, and a merchant active in India and Burma. Because of my interest in Irish connections, I find it intriguing that he bought Garnish Island, in 1910, close to Glengarriff, Co. Cork. This is where Thomas Jackson’s youngest daughter Dorothy retired to, and I have yet to learn why she chose that spot.

[22] Aka Alfred Markham TOWNSEND (1847-1939), born in Grassby, Parish of Searby, Lincolnshire, son of Thomas Jackson Milnes TOWNSEND (1819-1890), Vicar of Searby and his wife Sarah.

[110] J. Howard GWITHER (1835-?) Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China.

The Bankers’ Magazine Vol 49. JH. GWYTHER, now director and chief manager of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, and one of the most respected men in the City of London, was born in 1835, at Milford, in South Wales. When aged seventeen, he entered the banking house of Messrs. Rogers, Olding and Co., and remained there four years.

Mr. Gwyther entered the City Bank in 1856, Mr. A. J. White being then manager. About two years were spent entirely in the discount office. Mr. Gwyther then went to the Chartered Bank of India as sub-accountant in London, and, after three months' probation, was deputed to Singapore as accountant at that branch. After one year's service there, he went on to Shanghai as accountant, and after one more year became manager at Shanghai. This post also he only occupied for one year, and left it to take up a bill-broking business in that city, in succession to Mr. Page. He came home for a holiday in 1864. Just as he was returning to Shanghai, in 1865, the Chartered Bank of India offered him the post of sub-manager in London, under Mr. G. Ure Adam.

On Mr. Adam's retirement, in 1870, the subject of this sketch became manager in London of the Chartered Bank of India, a bank which has prospered under his direction with the greatest steadiness, notwithstanding the trials connected with constant fluctuations and depression in the value of silver, demanding the utmost care in conducting an exchange and remitting business of the kind. With such skilled men of business as go-betweens, merchants have been able to ward off the evil effects of instability in the relations between gold and silver, but the task has been hard, and Mr. Gwyther sighs-for the repose and stability which bimetallism would offer. In conjunction with Mr. H. H. Gibbs, Mr. H. R. Grenfell, and the late Mr. P. Tidman, Mr Gwyther was one of the earliest advocates of bimetallism. He is on the Council of the Association, and is ever ready to uphold the banner of his creed. Mr. Gwyther has managed to make himself agreeable to customers, to staff and to directors alike ; has never been spoilt by success ; has never spared himself in the matter of work, nor been guilty of injustice either to customer or subordinate. In the matter of help to young men he has been conspicuously painstaking, and has reaped a harvest of esteem. The remark has often been made and echoed, that it would be well for the City of London if there were more bankers in it like him.

In the 18970s in Tokyo, he was invited to teach the first generation of Young Japanese bankers the elements of modern Western banking, book-keeping, auditing and accounting.

He had married Blanche BUSHBY of Goring, Sussex on Oct 31, 1891 at St. Andrews Cathedral in Singapore. Hs wife, Blanche, and his son Frank (b 1895) survived him. Harry also had an older sister Mary Susannah, a younger brother Frank Dathan THOMSETT (an engineer with the RN, he died 7 Oct 1911), and sisters Ada, Nora, Minnie & Lily. SOURCE: Email from Gayle Thomsett November 3, 2014. NOTE: A history of St. John's Cathedral records an intriguing vignette at H.G. Thomsett: In the mid-1860s, an acrimonious dispute was waged within the congregation over sittings in the Cathedral, in which questions of precedence were involved. There were not nearly enough seats to provide proper accommodation for both the garrison and the general public. In 1865 the Navy, which considered that the Admiral’s seat was inferior to that of the General, brought matters to a head by demanding a re-adjustment of seating. This was done and the Navy was happy but other people had been displaced by the new arrangement and they were not disposed to ‘put up and shut up’. Mr Thomsett was asked to exchange sittings with Mr Vaucher…this was the spark which ignited a whole barrel of gunpowder (a popular figure of speech at that time). Captain Thomsett, the Harbour Master, had the strongest objections to the changes, for the question of social precedence was involved. There were several unpleasant scenes in Church and months of protracted negotiations in which the Trustees, the Governor and the Attorney General were involved — the pecking order is interesting! The Attorney General refused to commit himself so an appeal was made to London from whence the verdict was returned: “Parishioners have a claim to be seated according to their rank and station.”

Ada and one of her sisters lived on The Bluff on The Peak in Hong Kong in 1887 and in 1888.
