I have a lot of information on the family on Victoria, but not so much on Jack, just that he did invite the Victoria crew to come out and play to celebrate the Queen like proper Britishers at some point (clip from Victoria paper). This is so cool!!! Jack was born in Australia in about 1847, brought to NZ, left for Gold Rush in 1849, was back in England with his family by 1852, was headed for Gold Rush in 1853 when his father died at sea. He was in SF till 1854, then brought back to London till his brother Henry Emanuel Levy could "import" him circa 1860's. He was named after his grandfather, Jacob Levy, a very poor lapidary (diamond cutter) in London ("he sold spectacles and cheap Jewelry on LOndon Bridge" according to another descendant). Jacob was known as John Levy, and for a while, "Jack" also went by "John Levy" in some records. He never married but that's about all I knew....anyway, this just opened up a great wealth of information!

I had found a picture of the Seattle Alkis where you can see Jacob Levy at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle. It had previously been mis-identified as being from the 1880s. If its helpful to your family history, I also found a lot of records for both Jack and Henry Levy in the Registers for the City of Seattle, beginning in 1870 with their soda works business. You can also see their addresses for when they lived in Seattle instead of Victoria up to about 1909. I have Henry Levy's obituary from the Victoria papers as well, which is where I was able to make the connections.Mark Brunkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922036769993035071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796246494642593154.post-69888985000132505802015-01-28T13:26:11.605-08:002015-01-28T13:26:11.605-08:00I was fortunate to run across this blog post while...I was fortunate to run across this blog post while researching my family history. Jacob Levy was my great great grand uncle. His brother, Joseph, was my great great grandfather. Thanks for sharing this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038272799377307467noreply@blogger.com
