    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />

    <script src="js/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/customScript.js"></script>

var currentPage=$.mobile.activePage;

$('<div data-role="header" id="myheader">
        <a href="" >Home</a>
        <a href="" >Back</a>
    </div>').prependTo(currentPage).trigger('create');

$('<div data-role="footer" id="myfooter">
        <a href="">About Us</a>
    </div>').appendTo(currentPage).trigger('create');

Here's a working example:

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>jQM Complex Demo</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=no; target-densityDpi=device-dpi"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />
    <script src="http://www.dragan-gaic.info/js/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>      
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>    
    <script>
        $(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '[data-role="page"]', function(){       
            $.mobile.activePage.find('[data-role="header"]').load("header.html", function(){ 
                $(this).parent().trigger('pagecreate');
            }); 
            $.mobile.activePage.find('[data-role="footer"]').load("footer.html", function(){ 
                $(this).parent().trigger('pagecreate');
            });  
        }); 
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <div data-role="page" id="index">
        <div data-theme="a" data-role="header">

        </div>

        <div data-role="content">

        </div>

        <div data-theme="a" data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">

        </div>
    </div>    
</body>
</html>

header.html

<h3>
    Header
</h3>

footer.html:

<h3>
    Footer
</h3>

The trick here is to trigger pagecreate (not create) to style header and footer after content has been added through load function.

Read this article/answer to find a difference between 

trigger('create')

and 

trigger('pagecreate').

Basically, pagecreate will restyle whole page while create will style only content.

Add header

Checks if there is no header and then .append() the header .before() div data-role=content.

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', function () {
 if ($(this).find('[data-role=header]').length == 0) {
   $('[data-role=content]').before('<div data-role="header"><h1>Page header</h1></div>');
   $('[data-role=page]').trigger('pagecreate');
 }
});

Add footer

Checks if there is no footer and then .append() the footer .after() div data-role=content.

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', function () {
 if ($(this).find('[data-role=footer]').length == 0) {
  $('[data-role=content]').after('<div data-role="footer"><h1>Page footer</h1></div>');
  $('[data-role=page]').trigger('pagecreate');
 }
});

You can use jQuery load():

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#hdr").load("header.html"); 
    $("#ftr").load("footer.html"); 
});
