NotesOn December 5 1912, Edward Jacobs departed for Australia on board the Australind. He was placed at Fairbridge Farm School, Pinjarra, Western Australia. He served in WWII:
JACOBS EDWARD : Service Number - VX25595 : Date of birth - 01 Jul 1902 : Place of birth - LONDON ENGLAND : Place of enlistment - CAULFIELD VIC : Next of Kin - JACOBS C

'Admitted to the Islington (London) Workhouse in early 1910 with his widowed father, Edward, and his sister, Nellie. The 1911 census for England which was enumerated on Sunday, April 2, 1911, shows an Edward and Nellie Jacobs still resident in the Workhouse, but there is no sign of their father at this time.

Said to be quite weakly to start with, but soon developed into a strong, young lad. When he was sent out to work in 1917, he really never took to the life of a farmer and decided that he was better suited to a building career. By 1936 he was working as a laborer in Victoria, one of the eastern states. His death certificate indicates he had only lived in Western Australia for six years, so he could have moved to the Eastern states as early as 1919.

Married Catherine Mary Curley about 1940/1941 in Fitzroy, Victoria. Joined the Australian army in June of 1940 at
Caulfield, Victoria. Edward passed on July 15, 1966 aged 64 years. Catherine passed away in September of 1971. The
couple are buried in Bright Cemetery, Melbourne, Victoria.'
