if Ann stayed or not.
She may well be the Ann Roper in Campbell Street, Oakey, Darling Downs, in 1908. Not gone far.
A Mrs Roper was one of ladies of the Methodist Church Aid Society helping out at a Christmas event in Oakey in 1909 (she was providing afternoon tea)
On Vincent Rogers, born 3/3/1900
I haven't been able to eliminate him yet.
Presuming (always a dangerous thing to do!) that his mother, Kezia Jane, is the daughter of Edward Rogers of Geebung, the lady who married John Hamilton in October 1910 in Brisbane.
She died in 1930, death reg (Kezia Jane Hamilton) confirms her parents.
Her funeral notice has no mention of Vincent
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/21561476?There is the coincidence of the 3rd March date of birth of Vincent, and Geebung (the Ropers must have known the Rogers). Did the childless Ropers take the illegitimate grandson of their neighbours away with them to Toowoomba? Unless or until someone can find out anything new, I would keep him mind.
John
