I have been at SP and findmypast and other sites. I know that at the death registration of his wife, Elizabeth, in 1856 his occupation is listed as "ship stoker". Findmypast and SP list a John Jackson a merchant marine died in the Royal Infirmary at Dundee in 1884. Unfortunally his parents and widow's names are listed as "unknown. It's hard to believe that governmental place where died does not have the next of kin information on record. Regards.
