Named Person: "Takki of Wango was one of the most important Makiran leaders in the late nineteenth century. Although he never became a Christian, he was a friend of the Melanesian Mission (q.v.) and his only son, Robert Jackson, was baptised. ... Takki survived him and was an old man when Bishop Montgomery visited the island in 1892." [Source: https://www.solomonencyclopaedia.net/biogs/E000705b.htm, JD 14/01/2025]
