John Jeyes was born in Wootton, Northamptonshire, the second son of Philadelphus Jeyes (1780–1828), a retail pharmacist. On 10 March 1846, he married Sarah Frances Weldon at St Mary's Church, Stamford; they had nine children. The family initially lived at Holly Lodge, Boughton, Northamptonshire, a house built by his older brother, Philadelphus, but, in 1859, Jeyes and his family moved to London.

He is most famous for a disinfectant liquid, Jeyes Fluid, which he filed a patent for in 1877 and is still used. Jeyes Group Ltd. continues to manufacture popular cleaning products, sold in over 60 countries.^[3]

Jeyes died on 12 January 1892, at his home in Forest Gate, Essex, and was buried in the East London Cemetery, Plaistow.^[1]
