If you purchase the death certificate it should have the children named together with their ages at the time of mothers death

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.

Thanks for that.
I have quite a bit on the family going back.
The problem is finding the children - now adults.

Hi Peter
Thanks for the tip. I have added "Queensland" to see if that might help.

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
