Thanks everyone.

So as yet no offspring of John Henry and Annie found.

If they had children they may not have gone back to UK.  Possibly married n remained in Australia?

The Cuers are only family with Queensland connections so far.
My dna results give Victoria.NSW and Queensland as having dna connections with me
I know who the Victoria family are

There is another branch of my family I have to look into yet tho.

Later records show they remained in England.

They died there.

As shown, they married in 1929 and departed Australia  in 1935.

Unlikely to leave behind children who would be under the age of 6 years.

For further interest.
There are a number of births to BUNTING mms CUER in Mansfield Derbyshire between 1915 and 1931.
Edith Adelaide CUER married Arthur BUNTING in 1914.

Further records suggest they were in Leicester in the late 1930's

Rosa CUER was in Alfreton, Derbyshire court over charge of stealing She was from Pinxton
The year before that she had been an inmate of an institution for “penitent women” in the same area.

Ah!
So could be Minnie is my Queensland dna connection then!

Mystery solved.

Thank you everyone who helped me.

That is one possibility but I have not been able to see any children to the couple.

Others may search with better luck.

So you have no known chn to John H CUER and Annie
A lot of children to Edith  Adelaide (nee CUER )but she seemed never to leave England.
Rosa CUER who was penitent (possibly an unmarried pregnancy being the reason).

That leaves as one of the possibilities, illegitimate children to either John snr of John jnr
