The photographs below have all been taken in Australia in the late 1800s. They appear to be Jobson relatives and perhaps were sent by one of Jane's brothers, Christopher or Joseph.

"Jane Jobson my great grandmother b 1793 married John Grey 1890" on reverse. However this cannot be correct as the woman who married John Grey in 1890 was Sarah Ann Kendall born 1867. It is more likely to be Jane Jobson born abt 1833, who married William Grey in 1869 and died in 1902.

The photographs on this page come from the collection of John Grey. Some of the captions on the back appear to be confusing and have not yet been verified.

Jane's sister Ann Jobson married William Duncan possibly on the same day as her brother Christopher Jobson married Mary Trewick. Christopher married for the second time to Elizabeth Ann Mcoll. He died at Albert Park, Victoria, Australia in 1897. Both he and his brother Joseph emigrated. Mary Ellen Jobson is likely to be the daughter of Joseph and his wife Mary Ritchie. Her father Joseph died at Collingwood , Victoria in 1911. These three photographs must have been sent to Jane. According to David Jobson, a descendant of Joseph, Chris was the Major of Clunes and Joseph owned a flour mill in Ballarat that burned down. There is a family tree on ancestry.com by MichelleCrofts.
