[note I'm not sure which Jacka is being reffered to in these articles, however it would most likely be Joshua Jacka or his son Edwin Knight Jacka (as Edwin married an Ebbott who were so very prominent in the Weslyan Church)]

  24. ↑ On his death certificate it stated that Joshua had been 40 years in Victoria
  25. ↑ Joshua purchased the property was purchased from Mary Anne Wicks for two pounds and ten shillings.
  26. ↑ for 60 pounds.
  27. ↑ This is were the family lived before they moved to 4 Parslow St.
  28. ↑ Joshua Jacka living in Parslow St (15 Feb 1899) when he sold his property in Chewton to to Emily Cavills (the exactor of Herbert Henry Cavills will). He also died in this particular house.
  29. ↑ The property was sold for the value of one hundred and ten pounds.
  30. ↑ Johsua and his wife Rebecca place a Memorial notice in the paper for his brother it read as follows:-
    "JACKA. In loving memory of our dear brother, William, who passed away on the 9th September, 1900, 1 Woodbury Villa, Wellington Street, Clifton Hill.
    Long days and nights he bore his pain,
    To wait for cure was all in vain
    But God alone, who knoweth best,
    Took our dear brother home to rest.
    Cherished by his loving brother and sister-in-law, J. & R. Jacka"
    Just a few observations about the memorial notice. It is thought that Joshua and William came out together (how and when have not yet been confirmed) so they were probably very close to each other and hence the memorial notice.
  31. ↑ Although he was listed as a miner, we know that he was not very well so was probably a retired miner.
