Biography:

1. J. Jenner worked as a Labourer at 1/6d per day, according to Supply 5/221 dated the 8th May 1801. This document also recorded that Jenner was unmarried. Note: In this document, anyone not an Artificer was described as a Labourer. 2. A Return of Artificers and Labourers confirmed that he was still employed as a Labourer at the Cylinder Houses in Sussex. The same document reported that since the cylinders had been out of repair, Jenner had been employed in stacking timber in the yards, and levelling and preparing the ground where the cylinders were to be re-sited (Supply 5/221 dated the 3rd November 1801). He was possibly given notice to leave in 1802, since his name does not appear in the records after 1801.
