Good morning Gay,
Your response to Janette's reply #11 wherein you acknowledged that the Hobbs' births listed was "the correct family", and your reply #15 stating that the obituary "can't be the right person", leaves me a tad confused..........
Using the birth names provided by Janette and the married names of the daughters in the obituary for William Frederick Hobbs, we have the following:
Frances Alice married James Williams, 1887
Mary Jane married Henry David Limbrick, 1894
Rhoda married John Joseph Cosgrove, 1903. Birth registered as Rodie.
Phoebe married Joseph Henry Cronin, 1908
Emily Amelia married Joseph Augustus Tannion, 1913
Elizabeth married Mark Walker, 1910
Ethel Mary married Charles Alfred Fargher, 1902.
