Biography

Jane was born about 1838 and passed away about 1883

Jane Tucker (married name Ball) was born before 1842.^{[citation needed]}

She was married John Weeks Ball in 1853 at St James, Melbourne, Victoria.^[1]

Their daughter was:^{[citation needed]}

• Mary Ball (1869–1948)

John died in 1883.^[2]

Jane died on 27 December 1883, a few months after her husband. She was mentioned on a memorial in St. Kilda Cemetery, St Kilda, Port Phillip City, Victoria, Australia with an interment date of 28 December 1883.^[3]

It appears that John Weeks Ball married Jane Tucker in 1853 but John's name was incorrectly recorded in the Index as Bell, and this was corrected to Ball in 1871. ^[4]

It also seems that their daughter Mary Ball was born in 1869, rather than 1859 as shown previously on this profile.^[5]
