Hi Chezza60 ,
That is amazing. My G G Grandmother was Alice Rosa Rostron and she went on to marry Henry James Hodge. My Grandmother was Elsie Alice and she married William Talbot. My father was also William Talbot. Dad passed away a couple years ago. He remembered going to the farm where his grandmother worked and that the aboriginal children were not allowed to go to the local hospital if they were hurt or sick.
I have a lot of information about the other children that are put down as Phoebes siblings - the older twins who died did not have a father listed so I think that Rosa Bolton , their mother , either had these children to another person and that she took Phoebe in as a baby or that one of the aboriginals on Tara Station hooked up with her. All of the dates do not add up with Phoebe and the other children. I have sent off to get help with chasing down a birth certificate from Birth Deaths and marriages - There is no certificate in the system for both NSW and Victoria.

Hi Emma,
I agree with all you have said that was our guess that Rosa took in Phoebe in as a aboriginal child.
We have a relation that has done extensive search trying to find anything on Phoebe yet has found nothing.
good to touch base if i come across anything will let you know.

Cheers
Cheryl
