• Notes

  It looks as though Esther had left David by 1900. She has two children in 1900 and 1903 Margueretta Hogan Jacobs - father would appear to be Hogan William Patrick Jacobs - Indexed as both Jacobs and Hogan Esther marries William Hogan in 1911 after David Jacobs dies. However, a court case in 1898 implies that Amelia and James Jacobs were also not David's. See attachments. [4]
