Jacob Wiltshire was born in 1834 in Vernham Dean, between Newbury and Andover in Hampshire. By 1841 he was living with his parents and siblings at Vernham Dean[1]. In early 1857 he married Hannah Whitbread[9], and in 1861 they were living at Vernham Bank with their daughter Ellen and Hannah's daughter Alice[3]. By 1881, Jacob was a grocer's porter, living with his wife and children in West Fields, just southwest of Newbury town centre beside the Kennett and Avon canal[5]. In 1901, he was still in Newbury, living alone in Bartholomew Street at the edge of West Fields, and working as a jobbing gardener[7].
