The following year, he paired up with publisher R. Ackermann and founded the New Sporting Magazine. He continued to be an editor for the magazine for the next 5 years. He contributed comic sketches of Mr. Jorrocks to this magazine. The sketches and papers were collected and published in 1838 as Jorrocks's Jaunts and Jollities. Mr. Jorrocks was reintroduced in the novel Handley Cross in 1843 and enjoyed wide popularity. Mr. Jorrokcs also appeared in Hillingdon Hall (1845). Other novels written by Surtees include: Hawbuck Grange (1847), Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour (1853), Ask Mamma (1853), Plain or Ringlets? (1860), and Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds (1865). The last of these novels was published after the author's death.

In 1841 he married Elizabeth Jane and had one son and two daughters. Robert Smith Surtees died in 1864.
