Research Notes
Name
- The first name on this profile was changed from Olivia to Olive consistent with the details on both her birth and death records.
- Olive's middle names on this profile have also been marked as 'uncertain' as:
- There are no middle names or initials transcribed on her birth/ baptism record
- While her death record records her middle initials as 'A L', both her funeral notices record them as 'O L'.
Marriage/s
- While Olive is shown as having married John Andrew Jennings at Sofala on 10 July 1863, according to NSW BDM marriage registration 2907/1863 the parties were Allcock, Olive (close enough to her birth name) and Loi, Wong Hoy. There do not appear to have been any issue of this marriage, although locating birth records with Chinese fathers in NSW in the 19th century is notoriously difficult due to the varieties of spelling and transpositions of family and given names.
- Further, the marriage of Olivia Alcock and John Jennings is recorded as having been at Wellington in 1897.[5]
- On balance, it seems possible that Olive married twice, although it is noted that if this is the case both her sons seem to have been born around 20 years before his parents married.
