Railway Porter living in Kent

[maddys52]

I can't help with a date of birth, however there are numerous newspaper articles which mention Jesse JUPP. He was witness to two serious railway accidents  - one in 1857 (he was porter employed at Blackheath station) and the other in 1864.

Also a death notice published in the Morning Post, Thursday,  July 8, 1897  I assume this is the correct Jesse - based on electoral register?

 Unfortunately the copy I can see is very badly photographed:

"On the [3 ?] rd inst., at The Island, Limehouse, Jesse  Jupp, late [ .....] aged seventy eight."

Wow! Thank you Mandy.
Where can I find the newspaper articles please?
Jesse died 3rd July 1897 The Island, Lead Mills, Island Row, but I have not found where he was buried. I have his death certificate.
