Biography

Altho there is a Jakob Anspach, merchant in London associated with Baton's Coffe-ho in 1794, the 1861 UK census is the first found record of Jakob Anspach (Aushack), born in Russia. He married Emily Elizabeth Webb before 1861 and the census of that year shows Emily's mother living with them. Jacob is a bootmaker. By 1871 they have 5 living children and in 1881 they have 7. In 1883 they migrated from Plymouth, Engalnd to Australia with 8 children. Jakob became a widower in 1890 when Emily died of an epileptic fit at the Belair Retreat for Women in Kensington, Adelaide. He joined some of his married children at Holder Village, a government village settlement scheme during an economic downturn in South Australia. The scheme failed and lives were lost including two of Jacobs children. The village was abandoned in 1903. Jacob died in 1907 in Adelaide Hospital and is buried at West Terrace Cemetery.
