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].
