Notes for Isaac Jackson:[johnston.FBK.FBK.FBK.FBK.FTW]
Joseph JACKSON 1817-1875
Joseph the son of Isaac JACKSON, a husbandman, was born in the county of Cumberland, in England's far North
west. On the 23 of October, 1842, he married Elizabeth HOPE at St Brides Church, Liverpool. Elizabeth was also a native of Cumberland, the daughter of William and Ann HOPE, Joiner.
When entering the work force, Joseph also obtained employment as a joiner/carpenter, perhaps marrying into his
th
father in law's business. Joseph and Elizabeth appear to have had only one son, Henry Hope, who was born on the 9 of September, 1849 at 26 Gordon Street, West Derby, Lancashire. Henry was christened at Saint Peter's Church, Liverpool, on the 18"~ of November of the same year. West Derby now forms an outer suburb on the northern outskirts of Liverpool.
The young family left Liverpool on the 20~" of June 1852, on board the 'Araminta', a 245-ton vessel under the command of Thomas FEAPAN. They disembarked at Geelong as assisted immigrants on the 4th of October, 1852. Shipping records list the JACKSON s of Church of England religion, sponsored to commence employment at Mt Egerton.
The JACKSON s then made their way to the states' north east, where in 1856 Joseph was listed as a miner at Woolshed. In 1857, Joseph, along with bricklayer Charles Johnstone-were, were contracted to build the Wahgunyah School. When Henry finished his education, he also became a carpenter, joining his father's business in Wahgunyah.
On the 5t1, of November, 1871 Henry, or Harry as he was later known, married 21-year-old German immigrant Elizabeth Henrietta Winimine LESEBERG whose family resided at Browns Plains, formerly known as Indigo. Eliza appears to have arrived with her mother Caroline and her two younger brothers Frederick and Louis, on board the 4Eagle Speed', landing Port Phillip on the 24th of July 1857. Although the couple's marriage certificate listed Eliza's father as a farmer, the LESEBERG s were better known as the proprietors of the Farmers Arms Hotel.
Harry and Eliza were both living at Wahgunyah at the time of their marriage, but they chose the Reverent Anderson STOKER's residence in Rutherglen, for their ceremony. Harry's mother died in 1872, before the couple's firstborn Ann Hope, arrived in December 1873.
On Sunday the 26tl~ of September 1875, fate was also to catch up with Harry's father. That evening the state's north-east experienced a severe storm. Joseph, who had enjoyed one or two ales at Mr ONDING's Steam Packet Hotel, Corowa, set off across the bridge, for his home at Wahgunyah. It appears that in the darkness of night and at the height of the storm, Joseph lost either his footing, his way or both. Despite an extensive search by his son and several other volunteers, Joseph's body was not located until the 14t1t of October. A subsequent inquest gave a verdict of accidental drowning.
Around the time of Joseph's passing, Harry and family moved to the Brown Brothers' 30 acre Quondong property, on the east side of Spring Creek, Wahgunyah. With twelve acres of vines, four acres of orchard and the rest cultivated, together with a four bed roomed brick house with detached kitchen, outhouses and a wine cellar with 2000 gallons of wine, there is some debate as to Harry's financial capacity to even rent the property. Whatever his position at Quondong, the JACKSON s remained there until around 1 890 when they moved south-west to Norong. The Quondong property is now owned by Mrs Maggie FITZGIBBON, wife of the former entertainer Smacka FITZGIBBON.
Harry was described as a very average carpenter, specializing in the construction of coffins. The 1899 referendum lists his profession as a Vine, however in later years; Harry concentrated more on general farming. Several of his sons also commenced employment as carpenters before turning their hands to farming. In all the JACKSON5 had ten children, two of which died as infants. Harry was an avid supporter of the Lake Moodemere Regatta, attending every event from its interception in 1860 until his death. In his younger years he was a keen rower, which along with football, was a sport that all his sons excelled in.
Harry died on the 2nd of August 1920, aged seventy years and was buried in the Carlyle Cemetery. In 1925 the family farm, known as Norong Park, was left in the hands of the JACKSON's eldest son Louis. Eliza and the JACKSON's youngest daughter Rene moved to Church Street, Rutherglen. Rene employed herself as a music teacher and remained Eliza's primary career. Eliza lived a further five years, in time to witness the birth of all but one of her thirty-three grandchildren. She eventually passed away on the 26'~ of June, 1930 at Leonora Private Hospital, following complications from an appendicitis operation. Eliza was seventy-nine years old.
When Rene later moved to Chiltern and her brother Arthur moved into the Church Street residence, residing there until ???.
