Person:Jacob Green (6)

My Great Grandfather Jacob Green and my great grandmother Frances,

I spent a lot of money on research and time to find them, and have since put out a 2 volume book for the reunion that my cousin and I organised in Peace park Weston. Jacob died from injuries after being run over by a goods train about a 1/4 a mile from the Moe Station. The accident happened about on the 27th april, 18888, 9:30pm and was transported by another goods train to Sale where he arrived about 01:30am on the 28th April 1888, with horrific injuries and he died at 03:30am. I have found and paid to have the inquest reports. Even though there is record of the inquest, there in no death certificate ever issued. I have paid to have a death certificate and got sent back that he never died in Victoria, so after I got the inquest information I then contacted them and we had quite a long detail conversation and I had also gotten more information, as I told her where he was buried and everything, she tried every way, and said there should have been a death certificate issued in the time, so don't bother trying to find one. Frances his widow remarried a William Edward Storey in the December 1888 and later they moved over to Kalgoolie where she died in 1908.
