Family
Jack (properly Arthur) Verge had a younger brother, C. A. Verge. McCrery, Into Touch (2014), has them confused. They were both doctors and both played rugby for Sydney University and New South Wales. The newspaper sources show that Jack moved to Europe in 2007, having won a fellowship at Edinburgh University: all subsequent mentions of Verge playing rugby union for University and NSW are for his brother until 1910/11 when he the younger retired from the sport.

It seems likely that Jack was descended from John Verge, who settled in Kempsey, New South Wales and died at 'Austral Eden'. Jack's father, Austral Verge, lived in Hampden Hall, Kempsey, New South Wales, where Jack grew up. Any sources to back up — or disprove — this theory, are very much welcomed.
