In my late father's papers I found a card about a stagecoach journey from Brighton to Epsom on Derby Day 23 May 1883.
My GGrandfather William Jackson of Brighton is described as "that famous 'Whip', late a trainer and jockey of repute, brother to Harvie Jackson the once celebrated steeplechase rider" . Harvie may be David Harvie Jackson as he is described as a jockey in the 1871 census.
Where can I find details of their horseracing exploits?
