I am doing some research on my family history and both my great grandfather and great great grandfather (William Jacka Jnr and his father William Jacka Snr).
William Jacka Jnr was born in Bulli in 1876. His birth certificate shows his name as William Jacka Woods but he later adopted his father’s surname Jacka. He left Bulli circa 1890 and may have worked in the mines.
William Jacka Snr was born in England circa 1842 and arrived in Australia circa 1860 and lived in Bulli. He was a miner in England and we have been told he was a miner in Bulli.
Do you have any records showing who was working in the mines circa 1860 – 1890? If you don’t do you know who might still have personnel records of the miners?
Cheers
Bill Meani
PS I cant find an email address to contact you
I have recently moved to Bulli and am interested in whether I might be able to assist as a volunteer at the museum. I am a retired University professor and also have family history research skills. I could not fill in the membership form as I do not know any existing members. Regards, Virginia
