Hi,

Mary and James were also my third great grand-parents!

I'll need to check mine as I've just started this line.  I have her as Rosanna(h) Diggins 1852-1940  married to Robert George  Snell.

then my lineage is from your Mary Anne's brother William (6 years younger) and he married Margaret Doodey).

I do have a Rose Hannah in my tree (1887 - 1956).  But I have her as the youngest daughter to Rosanna Diggins and Robert Snell, born in Queanbeyan and then married to John VB Malloy.

As I said, I'm just starting the line.  At the moment I'm looking for clues as to whether Robert Snell left Rosannah Diggins and went to Victoria, and whether she remarried (possibly William Blanch).

appreciate if you think I have something incorrect in my line.

Hello that all sounds right I have her as Rose Hannah her name seemed to change on some records she married William Patrick Blanch in 1901 NSW and they are buried together at Sandgate New South Wales Catholic Cemetery this is their grave. They had 4 children before they married. Robert did go to Victoria some trees have him as Robert George but the only records I have found he is just George. He went on to either marry or live with Annie Doolan I think they are buried at Yan Yean. I think if you have three posts I can send you a personal message with my email Take care Lynette
