Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: BR 1176a
• Reference Number: BR-J
• Electoral Register: 1903, Bendigo, Victoria, Australia

Notes:

There is a possibility that he later went by the names Alfred James Jacobs.
On his father's Death Certificate there is an Alfred listed as the first child, which fits.
In 1903 there is am Alfred James living with what appear to be siblings David and Robert Orr Jacobs

There is also a possibility that he married Ruby May Trayse in 1913 and later divorced her.
However there is not enough information to prove this.

David married in 1921 in Randwick, New South Wales, Australia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Reference Number: BR 1170a
• Reference Number: BR-J

Notes:

When her son, Alfred James Canavan is born in 1917 she gives her maiden name as Hogan.
Possibly after her mother married Hogan she adopted his surname, but she was Jacobs when she married.

However, reading her parents' court case of 1898, it throws doubt as to her father being David Jacobs as he claims that the two youngest children at that time (Amelia & James) were William Hogan's

Amelia married in 1912 in Victoria, Australia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

James is listed on David's Death Certificate as being his child, but we don't know who gave the information.
