I can't find any thing for Rosa Anna after her baptism, the only Davis / Burnell marriage I can find is 1853  George Burnell to possibly Louisa Davis  E London    1c   21.
Have you any siblings for her?

I can't find any record of that either but I believe it was early 1860's. I have his death cert from Aust
stating that he was 35 in 1898 and born in Hackney Wick.

Was he Burnell or Davis. Have you found an immigration record for them?

Apparently Rosa was a widow and remarried in Australia. Her name on the certificate was Rosa Burnell. I am assuming that the Burnell she had married died and she left England to start new with William in Australia. William's death cert has his name as Dowswell, Rosa's second husband.

Thanks for the assistance
hope this helps as I'm finding more in Australia as I go.
