British colonial governor
Sir Wilfrid Edward Francis Jackson, GCMG (1883 – 28 March 1971) was a British colonial governor.
Jackson was born in St John's, Newfoundland, the son of Sir Henry Moore Jackson and his wife, Emily, Lady Jackson (née Shea). Edward St. John Jackson was his younger brother. The brothers were raised in their mother's Roman Catholic faith. He was educated at the Jesuit Stonyhurst College and at Lincoln College, Oxford.
He was the Governor of Mauritius from 30 August 1930 to 7 June 1937 and was knighted on 3 June 1931.
During this period the constitution was modified in 1933, and Dr Maurice Curé founded the worker's party as first political party in February 1936. Colonial secretary Edward Walter Evans (1890–1985) acted in place of him for these periods, when he was absent because of professional reasons.
Afterward, Jackson served as Governor of British Guiana from 1937 to 1941 and then he was Governor of Tanganyika from 1941 to 1945.
