It would appear that although the Supplementary Referee category
had ended the newer Full Referees were now acting as senior
linesmen
T. Jackson is presumably an error for F.S. (Preston) or S.G.
(Grimsby)
F.S. did 5 Div 1 lines the previous season - all in Lancashire
S.G. did only 1 - in Sheffield (75 miles away)
S.G. is the better candidate for Leicester (89 miles) rather
than F.S. (126 miles)
G is immediately below T on the keyboard too
