Jacqueline Isola PETERSEN was born on 24 July 1916 in Naseby, Canterbury, daughter of James PETERSEN and Elizabeth Ellen FINCH. Jacqueline died of influenza two years later, and her sister, aged 7, died shortly afterwards.

In the School Registers the children attended several schools in the Dunedin area including Arthur Street, Forbury, Kensington, and Moray Place. Their father James was the parent listed on each of the records.
The New Zealand Electoral Rolls from 1904 to 1914 show the family living in Dunedin with James working as a carpenter/joiner. The family had moved north by 1917 and settled at 170 Owen Street, Newtown, Wellington. The 1928 Electoral Roll showed they briefly returned to Dunedin, before returning to Wellington by 1935 and settling at 63 Wallace Street, in the suburb of Mount Cook.
The New Zealand Army WWI Reserve Roll 1916-1917 listed James as living at 170 Owen Street, Newtown, Wellington and working as a joiner.
Jacqueline became unwell with influenza and died at the family home in Newtown on 16 November 1918 and was buried in Karori Cemetery on 18 November 1918. There were no notices in the newspaper of the day and there is no headstone on the grave.
Her sister, Nada, died on 1 January 1919 and was buried with Jacqueline on 3 January 1919. The Evening Post of 2 January published the death notice:
PETERSEN – On the 1st January, 1919, at Wellington Hospital, Nada Eulalie, beloved daughter of James and Ellen Petersen, of 170, Owen-street, Newtown; aged 7 years. Deeply regretted. (Otago and Southland papers please copy)
