Rachael Vida Keeble (nee Westhead) is my wife's grannie Keeble.  I do not believe she had any children to George Keeble however I do know that she had many men pass through her life.  I also believe that some of those children bare the surname of their father. Eg. Alice Lavinia McInerney Keeble and sister Margaret Rachael Mary McInerney Keeble.  During WWI she communicated with a McInerney who died overseas in action.  I believe Alice and Mary are products of that relationship. Another Harold Keniverus "Campbell" Keeble, another August Victor Foster Keeble.  My wifes mother and 4 of her siblings are the product of a relationship with a "Foster."  The oldest child a boy who died in his teens from a snake bite also bore a surname which I cannot remember for the moment.  I did some research and found that a person with the same surname was in Mildura at the time this boy would have been conceived but eventually ended up in Melbourne where he died.  George Keeble I am told is buried in the Peterborough cemetery.  One of Rachael's grandchildren traced him there apparently many years back and spoke with some old guy who new him.  All the children appear to have been given the name Keeble even though no Keeble appears to have been around at that time.  She had 14 children.  My mother-in-law is Myrtle Eugene Augusta Keeble however her records clearly show her father was Foster.  Some of the men in her life are John Henry McInerney, *** Alexander,  Frederick Foster, Frederick William Kolpin, John B Minford, Claude Lipscombe.  If anyone has any better info please let me know as I am stumbling through this at the moment.
