	Hi Selwyn, Are you talking about Rockhampton in Queensland? If so, it might help if you mention 'Australia' in your title. There are a number of very good Australian researchers on here who may be able to help you. Good luck, Peter

Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 16 Send Message	Thanks for that. I have quite a bit on the family going back. The problem is finding the children - now adults.

Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 16 Send Message	I do not know any of the children's names. There is a story that some years later father Bill Cox played tennis against one of his daughters and was not aware who she was. Family remember he was a staunch R.C.
