dhouston,
I wonder if you also have either or both of the twins death printouts and I wonder who was the informant for each.
Was it information from these which led you to think John Jabez, not Edward ROBERTS was their father.
It is my opinion that Edward was Johns known as Edward. How may nieces follow their uncle from Australia to New Zealand, live with them and pay for their uncles funeral?
Henry mentions his mother was Mary Durie not Caulfield. None of the snippets I have are 100% correct. Thomas and Henry died age 84 and 86. Celebrated their 83rd birthday on the same day when they were 84 and their birth certificates mention that Thomas was 25 days older.
The twins didn't know how old they were.

So is that
No, you don't have death certifications?
Though you have asserted your belief and you do acknowledge it to be an opinion, to my way of thinking you have not cited any documentary evidence which supports it.
I think your line of thinking is speculative and if it were my family, I would require a good deal more.
What documentary evidence I have personally been able to see and which I have mentioned through the thread, does not lend itself to your theory.
Perhaps others who have connections to the family will exchange information with you to help clarify things.
