Hi Jan,
found some info on her via papers
PERSONAL
The late Rosa New, who died in Charters Towers at the week-end was born Rosa Tomkins, daughter of an English Gentleman in Cheshire, England. She came to Australia at the age of nineteen and settled in Cooktown. Here she married and reared half of her family in the bush outside Cooktown. Later she took up residence at Thursday Island and was well-known in business to everyone around for over thirty years. She was predeceased by her husband in 1930. At the beginning of 1942 she was evacuated from the north and settled in Charters Towers to await the time when she would one day return to her Island home. She was loved by all who knew her and is sadly missed by those who survive her.

Mark & Rosa had 8 children on Qld BMD.

Hi there and welcome.
You may have this on her husband and his family..

Stanley John Hider b 12 Nov 1907 Qld to William Stanley Hider and Elizabeth Jessie Fretwell – They married 1902 Qld

Also a sister b 1903 Qld - Catherine Charlotte Victoria Hider – married 1928 to Benjamin Clarence Webster in NZ.

Mum - Elizabeth Jessie Hider died 1956 in NZ age 78 years.
Father - William Stanley Hider died 1945 NZ age 74 years

Paperspast has for father’s death On September 8 1945 at his residence 19 Allen street Frankton William Stanley Hider dearly loved husband of Jessie Elizabeth Hider and father of John and Kate, aged 71 years – Forever with the Lord, service at Scrimshaw’s Chapel tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2pm funeral then leaving for the Hamilton Cemetery.

Mum & Dad are on NZ 1928 ER for Hamilton Waikato at Allen St Frankton. John shows with them on 1935 Er at same address, Jessie, John and father William on 1938 Er at same address as well as Noreen, so looks like marriage was after 1935 in NZ.

Mum and Stanley swapped their names around - Jessie & John, he shows on 1946 Er with Noreen, so marriage between 1935 - 1938
