About George Frederick Jecks
George Frederick Jecks, William Jecks’ younger son, married Barbara Clapperton Hume in 1867 at Lambeth. His occupation was noted as “Bank of England”. They had four daughters as follows:
1868 Jessie Ranken Islington
1870 Edith Elizabeth Barnet
1871 Florence Barbara Barnet
1873 Mildred Emily Barnet
George Frederick Jecks was another of Charles Jecks’ descendants who was an employee of the Bank of England. The Bank’s records again provide testimony:
“Son of William Jecks. Born 2 February 1830. Entered the service of the Bank 16 March 1849. At the time of his appointment described as:- ‘Age 19. Born in Camberwell. Quitted school 2 years ago, has been since employed as Clerk to Mr Hawkins, a stockbroker, from whom he has produced satisfactory testimonials. If elected will continue to reside with his father at 4 College Terrace Islington, very good writing, quick at accounts, Church of England’. Worked in:-
Drawing Office for the Public Accounts in the capacity of Assistant 1850 –1854 (with a salary of £60 per annum in 1850)
Drawing Office for the Public Accounts 1855 – 1875 (with a salary of £280 per annum in 1871)
No further record after 1875.”
The “Drawing Office” referred to the office where money was withdrawn from the Bank, not to a draftsman’s office.
Only just over two years after his youngest child was born, at the age of 46, George F. Jecks died at Whetstone, Barnet, in the northern reaches of the old county of Middlesex. His will was proved in January 1876 by Barbara Clapperton Jecks, his widow. George left his estate to his wife, who perhaps soon after moved to Manchester to live at the home of her daughter Jessie Ranken Petch.
Barbara survived her husband by 40 years and died at Hampstead in 1916, described as of The Rectory, Kersall, Manchester. Probate was granted to Arthur Statham Jecks. Barbara left a legacy of £1,000 to her grand-daughter Eva Barbara Gray, and her domestic effects were left to her daughters Jessie Ranken Petch, wife of the Reverend Reginald Petch, Florence Barbara Hume, and Mildred Emily Strother. Her daughter Ethel Elizabeth Gray had predeceased her.
Jessie died at Ipswich in 1955, Ethel at Hampstead in 1902, and Mildred passed away in 1916 at Beckenham, Kent. Florence Dreaper, nee Jecks, died at Felixstowe, Suffolk in 1973, aged 101
