William Jacka and Grace Hollow
William's father was William Jacka born 1763 St.Buryan wife unknown they had seven children.
William 1794 and my g.g.grandmother Elizabeth b1793 were brother and sister, one of William's children was Joseph 1832 Joseph had a son Nathaniel b1861 in Australia and he had a son Albert b1893 who was the first Australian to win a V.C. you may already have this information William and Grace had fourteen children.
Thank you farrowbmf.
I did not know Albert was the first Australia to win the V.C., and it looks like I have missed four of William and Grace's children.
I appreciate your reply.
Albert Jacka lived in St.Kilda, a Shopping Mall was named after him last year,in January of each year a Service is held at the graveside of Albert in St.Kilda local dignatories attend and so do descendants of the Jacka family, I was invited but I live in England to far for me to go if you live anywhere near St.Kilda it may be worth a visit. A book was written called Hard Jacks I obtained the book from Australia it is very interesting. He was a man who helped others all his life.
I'm sure it will be very interesting reading farrowbmf.
Will chase up the publishing details online and try and get a copy.
Thanks again.
hi guys,
the book is called HARD JACKA, a novel about the exploits of Albert Jacka, VC, Australia’s first Victoria Cross winner during the Great War, and the men of the 14th Battalion, First AIF (with some great photos). There is also a sequel
Thanks ngairedith.
Your better than the Victorian yellow pages.
Cheers.
