• Notes

  Family of Lawrence Jacobs & Catherine O'Regen There are some discrepancies around the data we have for this family. We have a marriage certificate for Lawrence and Catherine O'Regen dated 1865 Yet we have at least 2 children (Lawrence Samuel & Sarah Ann) born before this date. First assumption is that there was a prior marriage - despite Lawrence and Catherine being Bachelor & Spinster on the marriage certificate. However, Sarah Ann's birth certificate in 1862 gives her mother as Kate Jacobs, formerly Regen (Catherine/Kate and the O' dropped from O'Regen) . This certificate also lists Lawrence and refers to 2 deceased children, names unknown. Sarah Ann's birth certificate also gives a marriage date of 1859 for her parents. Philip's birth certificate in 1868 tells us that his parents, Lawrence & Catherine nee Regan, married in 1860. It also lists brothers Lawrence, aged 7 and David, aged 3. Sarah Ann is listed as dead and we learn of another brother, also deceased, called Simeon. So now we have some extra confusion: In 1862 when Sarah was born we knew of two previously deceased children, one of whom could be Simeon (although if we take the order of listing as order of birth, then Simeon came after Sarah Ann), but then who was the second, and why are they not listed on Philip's birth certificate? From his death certificate we learn that he was aged 80, was married to Alice Read when he was aged 37 and had no children. He was born and lived in Victoria all his life. [5]
