My thanks to contributors for their information. The former Enoggera Hotel is said to have been situated Farm Street and Enoggera Road which would have it in proximity to the now Newmarket Primary School. From memory (I grew up in Enoggera and left the area age 21) not a long distance from the current Newmarket Hotel. Mrs Rossiter's intemperate deed would still be punishable by law in certain areas of Queensland.
I have not been able to find birth details for either John Rossiter or Jane Hending. John's birth could have been c1783 from death record 23/11/1862 age 79. This year is given support from a copy of his gravestone inscription the year date not being legible. However the transcriber (who took the photo) has 17/11/1863 age 80. Jane, from the same inscription, 23/8/1832 age 47. The death record 27/8/1832 age 45 placing her birth year 1785 to 1787. Would welcome any corrections or information.
Regards
Zane
