Hi John i have just seen your note if i have the right Nicholas Jacob, he was born in Waterford Irand. As for as i know he left home for america to be a jockey. he was wed twice had 2 daughters to one wife and if i remember right 2 more children. I know this because i am the grand-daughter of his brother Martin Patric Jacob, there dad was mark Jacob the park keeper for the peoples park Waterford were the all lived. If this rings any bells please can you tell me did Nicholas become a jockey,I have already done there tree, well my tree i have all the names and dates of all 11 siblings and his parent, so on it would be lovely if i have found him as he was the only one i never met.
