Hi, I am seeking information on the parents and siblings of William George Rose b. 1810. Married 1842 to Margaret O'Connor. William died 1848 and was a Butcher in Collins Lane, Melbourne. William George and Margaret had at least four children: William (1843-`1843), James 1843-1843, William John 1844-1922, George 1846-1849 and Elizabeth Mary 1848-1890. Elizabeth married Michael Joseph Madden 1867, Essendon, Victoria. Any information would be appreciated. Regards Danny

So if im reading you right, the man died the year that he married and had kids with his wife over the subsequent 4 years?

Hi Pauline, I corrected my error. Year of death was 1848

There are a number of articles on Trove about William's death (as well as a few about his pork butchery business), if you haven't seen them I can post links if you like. This one does say though that he left a wife and 3 children, presumably William, George and Elizabeth who were living at the time of his death.

I think you will benefit from having this thread moved across to the Australia board. I will ask moderator to move it there.
