A very big thank you to Betty Raffaele, secretary of the Snowy Monaro Family History Group for obtaining copies of the Obituaries: R U B Rose - 11.09.1905 H T M Rose - 21.07.1938 Mrs. H T M Rose – 20.07.1940, these have been transcribed by Pattrick Mould

R U B Rose - 11.09.1905 – Monaro Express.
On Sunday afternoon the respected laird of Boloco Station (Mr. R U B Rose) passed away to his eternal home, full of years and honour. For about a week Mr. Rose had been in a delicate state of health and little hope had been entertained of his recovery. The deceased gentleman had been suffering bronchitis and tonsillitis which brought him down to a low condition of health and his death resulted as the consequence from heart failure. Deceased had been attended by Dr Henderson, of Adaminaby, continuously during his illness and though all this medical skill and careful nursing could do was done it was without avail. Mr. Rose had spent a long and eventful life on Monaro, he being a resident of the district for thirty five years during which time he had gained the universal esteem and respect of the whole community. At the time of death the deceased had reached the mature age of seventy-four years, being four years over the allotted span. The age of seventy-four allows a great deal to be accomplished and the deceased gentleman unostentatiously crowed a deal of usefulness into the term of his existence. He seldom took any part in public matters but he quietly took much interest in whatever concerned the welfare of the district. As a neighbour he was friendly, and to all he was hospitable and on the whole his character was that worthy of a good father. By his demise he leaves behind to mourn their irreparable loss a widow and a grown up family, the latter comprising Messrs. A F and H T M Rose, of Cooma; R U B Rose junr, Boloco and Mesdames John Crisp, Ironmungie; E Crisp, Mittagang; J Williams, Camden; and Miss Amy Rose, Boloco, besides a large circle of relatives and friends. Profound sympathy is felt throughout the district for the bereaved family and relatives. Deceased’s mortal remains were interned in the Boloco Cemetery on Monday afternoon, the remains being followed to the graveside by a large procession of relatives and friends thus evidencing the very great respect in which the deceased was held.

H T M Rose - 21.07.1938 – Monaro Express 1st August 1938
The death occurred yesterday at his home, "Magellan’, of Mr. H T M Rose, one of the best known and respected residents of Monaro, at the age of 71 years. He leaves a widow, three sons John, Clifton and Henry Arthur (Pad) and three daughters Mrs. J C Maslin and Mrs. Ron mould and Eliza (Li). The internment took place this afternoon in the C of E Section of Boloco General Cemetery.

– Monaro Express 5th August 1938
Last Sunday, 31st July, there passed away one of the best know and most respected residence of Monaro, and a representative not only of a well know Monaro pioneering family, but one of the earliest pioneering families of Australia, in the person of Mr. Henry Thomas Merrett Rose, at the age of 71 years. Mr. Rose had been ill for the past couple of months and died suddenly on Sunday morning at his home at Magellan, near Cooma. The late Mr. Rose was the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Rueben Uther Bartlett Rose, of Campbletown, where he was born on the 14th November 1866. His paternal Grandfather was Mr. Thomas Rose, of Mt Gilead, Campbletown who had married Miss Elizabeth Merrett. Dec. came to Monaro in 1875 with his parents, his brother Alfred, and sisters Sarah and Hannah. His father selected land on Boloco Creek and later purchased Boloco Station. Mr. H.T.M Rose at the age of 25 years married Amelia Jane, eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hain of Cooma. They were married at St Paul’s Church of England Cooma, on 31st May 1893 by the late Rev. Canon Bevan. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Rose settled at Melephago, adjoining Boloco. In 1900 Mr. Rose became manager of Woolway Station for the late Mr. C.W. Pye. Mr. Pye disposed of his Monaro properties in 1905. Mr. Rose continuing as manager of Woolway for a brief period for Mr. Thomas Wise. He however decided to become a grazier on his own account and purchased Tarsus, on the Murrumbidgee in 1905. This property he sold in 1914 and he then purchased Magellan on which he has resided ever since. He went into business with his brother-in-law Mr. H.R. Hain in 1908 in the name of Rose and Hain Stock and Station Agents, Cooma. The partnership was dissolved some years later and he carried on as a Stock and Station Agent on his own account until his retirement in 1932. He took his part in the affairs of the town and district, being at various times an Alderman of Cooma Municipal Council, a Director of Cooma Pastures Protection Board and a Committee Man of Cooma P. and A. Association, of Cooma Race Club and of other local organizations. His main sporting interests were in gun shooting and in horses and of late years he also became very interested in Coastal and Deep Sea fishing, operating from his holiday home at Merimbula. He was a member of the New South Wales gun club for many years and though he did not seriously follow the sport, he won several big matches in city and country meetings. In his maiden shoot with the club in 1906 he won outright the one hundred pound open handicap against a field of 36 shooters. In June 1920 he won a special cup shoot held in honour of H.R.H. The Prince of Wales. He owned many good horses in his time, notably the Coaching Stallion ‘Perfect’, winner of many shows including Sydney Royal, and never beaten in the show ring, also the outstanding Pony Stallion "Mazeppa". He was a man of sterling honesty and good nature. He had a very wide circle of friends, and we believe it would have been impossible for him to make an enemy. He is survived by his widow and three sons, Alfred John, Clifton Merritt, and Henry Arthur Merritt, three, Ray (Mrs J.C. Maslin), Elizabeth, and Nancy (Mrs Ron Mould), three grandchildren, 2 brothers Alfred and Reuben, and one sister Amy (Mrs A.E. Jeanneret). The remains were removed to St Paul’s C of E, on Sunday, and on Monday to St James Church, Boloco, whence following service by Rev. A Harris, they were laid to rest in the C of E section of Boloco general cemetery. Rev. Harris also officiated at the graveside at which there was a large gathering of mourners. Mr. J. F.

Mrs. H T M Rose – 20.07.1940 - Cooma Express 26.07.1940
Very general and sincere regret was felt in all parts of Monaro when the death became known last Saturday of Amelia Jane, widow of the late Mr. H T M Rose of Cooma. The late Mrs. Rose would have been 73 years of age on the 5th August proximo. She had been in indifferent health of late and had undergone an operation in Glouster House, Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney where she passed away early on Saturday Morning, 20th inst. Deceased was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hain of Cooma, and was born at Dairyman’s Plain, near Cooma.

After her husbands death two years ago Mrs. Rose came into Cooma to live residing at Raglan House, portion of the old Lord Raglan Hotel in Lambie Street. Mrs Rose was a keen gardener and for many years a strong supporter of the Cooma P. and A. Association, and a regular exhibitor at the annual shows. On two occasions at least she earned the honour of being the most successful exhibitor at the Cooma Show. In recognition of her valuable and consistent support she was made a life member of the association. Her services were also in demand as a judge in the flower or domestic work sections of other district shows. She also took an active part in functions for the C of E and other public charitable affairs, notably the Red Cross society. In her person she was a woman of very fine character, active, busy and very well informed, but never to busy to do a kindness to a friend or neighbour. She will be sadly missed by many .Mrs rose is survived by three sons – Henry Arthur Merrett (Pad) (Kydra), Clifton Merrett (Magellan), and John (Cooma), three daughters – Mrs. J C Maslin (Ray),Gunningrah, Bombala, Eliza of Cooma, and Mrs> Ron Mould (Nancy) of kybean; three brothers Sampson Henry, Manly; Frederick Joseph and henry Rostron, Cooma; a sister Mrs. A.J McDonald, Rose Bay and five grandchildren.

To: Tracy Jackson <[email protected]> Hi, Yes I have the information you are looking for, I have attached it (it is a word document), I have also pasted it below in case you can't open the document. I am posting that family to my web page in the near future, to find the Roses go to the mould site below, from there to Rose Research. There is a Research Group in Australia (not on email) who are studying that family, I am sure they would like to get in touch with you.

Thomas Rose of Wilberforce
From Pattrick: I receive the Thomas and Jane Rose Society Newsletter,"The Lore of the Roses’, if anybody would like me to pass it on to them, please let me know, I have sent the current copy to Anne Sheppard.
ROSE, THOMAS (1749?-1833), farmer, was born at Blandford, Dorset, England. There he married Jane Topp, who bore him three sons and one daughter before 1792. In August that year, as the result of repeated requests by Governor Phillip for the dispatch of intelligent and experienced farmers, Thomas Rose and his family together with four other free settlers sailed in the Bellona for New South Wales. Rose and his companions were the first free and independent settlers to reach Australia. They arrived in Sydney on 16 th January 1793, when David Collins noted that Rose was 'the most respectable of these people, and apparently the best calculated for a bona-fide settler'. The new arrivals chose land about seven miles west of Sydney, which they called Liberty Plains, now the Strathfield-Homebush district, where Rose received first 80 and later 120 acres. Why they settled there is uncertain, for the soil was poor, and without manure was quickly exhausted, but possibly Lieut. Governor Francis Grose Paterson (q.v.) wanted to establish settlement between Sydney and Parramatta for the safety and convenience of the travelling public. Rose soon decided that they had made a hasty and bad choice of situation and according to family records they soon afterwards moved to Prospect, where, he was made an overseer in charge of the government farm and stock, and where his second daughter, Sarah, was born. He appears to have stayed at Prospect for some twelve years. He and his family then moved to more fertile lands along the Hawkersbrey River where they purchased the 30-acre grant of William Mackay near the later-named Wilberforce, which Grose began to settle in 1794. There he spent the rest of his life and became a well-known and highly respected figure, surrounded by a growing army of descendants. A son and a daughter had been born in the colony. He died on 15 November 1833 and was buried in the cemetery of St John's, Wilberforce. His wife, who predeceased him in 1827 was, according to the Sydney Gazette, the first woman to attain the status of great-grandmother in the colony since its establishment. Quiet, homely, unassuming and industrious, Thomas Rose belonged to that humble band of men, who in a rough and licentious age, helped to lay the foundations of ordered social life in a new country.

Tracy Jackson Hi Pattrick Thanks for all that information that you sent it was great. We have not work our way back there yet ,but we are working on it. I think that we are chasing a different henry rose because the henry we have was married to a eliza feras we think but the children's birthdates children a ann and john ann was born 1852 and john in 1853 but the date on the family bible regarding elizas birth is 1838 which means that she was only 14yrs old when she had ann. But the only marriage when can find of henry and eliza was in 1858 which means that they we married 5 years later then their children we born was that the done thing back in those days,? That Research Group that you mentioned who are studying that family Yes I would like that address please. As for the places of Wollombi it is in the Wine country of the Hunter Valley it is a very old place with a lot of history and our ann Rose was born there. As for Boral and Stroud And The Branch are very old history towns as well and they are up at the foot of the Barrington Tops which is in the district of Gloucester. Ann Rose married a Samuel Davey at willow tree and they moved to Boral were Samuel ,s family come from and they both die and are buried at Boral. Our family has a strong tie with Boral and Stroud with having Davey people still there. Any information that you have is received greatly .

Hi, Hope I have found you ok? The web address is below, if you follow through to the Rose Research group newsletter you will find our current newsletter, have a look soon as it should be replaced in the next ten days. As I mentioned I am quiet happy to allocate one of these pages to your society, I can assure you would get more enquiries and offers to help. If you are not interested in that we will be happy to receive your contributions for our newsletter or WebPages. Please contribute. Regards, Pattrick Mould,

Contact OK. Have had a look at the site and the development seems to be going well. Unfortunately when I tried to open the Newsletter I got the "page cannot be displayed" message - perhaps it is being replaced now – but I will try later on today. Many thanks for your offer of assistance. Our Society has been talking about a Site for some time but nothing has been decided and I am a little reluctant to take on any more work. One of the reasons is that my wife, Carol, and I have been travelling a bit and we intend to do some more but these breaks away cause disruption to the flow of the genealogy which then takes an effort to catch up. Oh well, it is fun. Kind regards Don Brunton 10 Pildra Place FRENCHS FOREST NSW 2086 02 94513834

Hi Pattrick, A few weeks ago I started researching my family tree. My family on my Dad's side were the Roses and have always, as far as I know, lived in or around Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft. I was looking through the Internet and came across your message, about your Ancestors, the Roses, from Norfolk. I would be interested to hear from you and maybe compere notes, just to see if - a) we are related, and b) if we could help each other with our family tree's. Thank you very much, Sid White.

Hi Sid White, Great to hear from you, I am sure we are related if we get back far enough, and there is no doubt we can help each other, even if it is only just keeping in touch and sharing our research, that has an incredible motivating capacity alone. I don't know how many skills you have picked up in regard to genealogy on the internet. I would recommend to people that they start with the LDS site, progress to Cindy's List to Genuki to Rootsweb's data bases, than mailing lists. By then you will have pick up a lot of other data bases on the way. Let me know where you are at and I will share as much as I can with you. I am not sure where you saw my message about my Roses from Norfolk, do you remember, I will have to update it. At present we are concentrating on the Birmingham area, and appear to be getting there slowly. If you have a look at the Rose Research Group Newsletter on my wed-site (address below) this will probably be better explained. Briefly we have all the genealogy of the Rose family in Australia to 1793, but are still having trouble determining which Thomas Rose is ours in England. Re your Dad's side.. Roses...have always lived in or around Gt Yarmouth and Lowest.. I am very interested in that line of the family, as there was a Thomas Rose born in Gt Yarmouth at about the right date to suit my ancestor. I have attached one of my files on Thomas Rose that will explain that. Look forward to hearing from you, Regards,Pattrick Mould,

Hi Sid White,
Good to hear from you. Those Thomas Roses don't seem match up, my guy was born about 1773. It appears if that if he came from Great Yarmouth he would have had a brother Robert, that matches up with the IGI entries, their parents appear as John and Lucy. I doubt that he married before he was transported. I don't know any of Thomas William ROSE'S 12 brothers and sisters. Sorry you couldn't get around the web site, I will have a look at it later today. I would be interested in starting a WebPages for you, it is my experience that if you put all your information up you will get a lot of inquiries from people on the same track, one of which will take you a lot further. If you like send me you info in word format of on an email and I will put it up for you. Regards Pattrick Mould

Hi Pattrick, Thank you very much for your Email. I am fascinated to see that your Roses moved to Australia some time in the 1700's. I have found out that there were 2 (maybe more) Thomas Rose's in the family that we know of - Thomas ROSE b.1798 married Sarah (His mother and father were William and Ann ROSE (nee. FUGGOT) Thomas William ROSE b.1877 married Edith WARD. (This Thomas is my nan's grandad) This is all I know at the moment, but I will be going to the Family Record Centre in London on Thursday, so if you can get back to me before then and let me know if this sounds like it could be your relative too, I'll do the research for you as well. We do have some unsolved problems on the ROSE side - Thomas William ROSE had 12 brothers and sisters, if you've heard of any of these, let me know - Charles Thomas ROSE 1869-1927 Herbert John ROSE 1871-1951 Eliza Sarah ROSE 1872 - 1963 George Edward ROSE 1874 - 1887 Henry David ROSE 1879 - 1916 Hannah Tyrell ROSE 1881 - 1911 David King ROSE 1884 - 1964 Ellen ROSE 1886 - 1964 Maude Rosa ROSE 1887 - 1887 William George ROSE 1888 - (still trying to find out when he died) Percy Robert ROSE 1891 - (still trying to find out when he died) Arthur ROSE 1893 - 1958 (don't know anything about this one) We are also related to Sir Benjamin Britten and Sir Alec ROSE, but don't know where they fit in. I went to the MOULD & ROSE Web Site but some links are broken so I couldn't get too far. If you think you could be related to the Thomas' about, let me know and we could compere notes, names and dates to see if we are distant cousins. I have loads of information for all the ROSES. Take care and hope to hear from you soon - SID S - I can't remember where I saw your message about ROSES FROM NORFOLK because I was looking in so many Web Sites at the time.

Research – Roses in History
THE INDIAN MUTINY – SIR HUGH ROSE - Early Victorian England, Edited by G M Young The commander whose ability was really eminent was Sir Hugh Rose, who in the spring and summer of 1858 marched a column of about 5,ooo men a distance of 1,ooo miles from Ujjein to the Jumna. He had no maps, and so had to reconnoitre the whole way for himself. But no fortress could resist him, no risk could daunt him, no enemy arrest him. None the less some of his marches during the hot weather were trying beyond endurance. Upon one occasion a brigade, being called upon for a great effort, cheerfully marched on through overpowering heat. It was such a day that the very dogs ran howling away, their skins slashed as if by sabre-cuts by the burning sun. There was no shade and no water. The transport bullocks dragged themselves painfully on at the rate of one mile an hour. The men dropped down first by twos and threes and then by scores. The litter-bearers had no strength to carry their loads. Officers were brought back to the rear shrieking or laughing in delirium. All staff officers were prostrated and the column struggled on without guides till it overtook a brigade which had marched before it. When the halting-place was reached it was long before water could be found; and only with difficulty were sufficient able men found to stand sentry over the well and preserve order while the water was distributed. On this day thermometers marked 130 degrees Fahrenheit and then burst.Such was an extreme example of the trials to which the troops were subjected. The sun and the flies were far more dreaded than the mutineers. And even in the cooler intervals the fatigue suffered by the soldiers was intense. In the final work of hunting down a rebel leader over a country as large in area as England, one squadron of cavalry is reckoned to have covered 2,ooo miles and another little less. Men after hours of riding in heavy rain simply dropped off their horses when halted for the night, were asleep before they reached the ground, and never moved from the mud in which they had fallen. Individual deeds of daring, it must be repeated, were many; but the cheerful endurance of hardship was the most significant quality of the soldier. Nor, despite the massacre of white women and children, was he unmerciful. 'You have fought against the strong,' wrote Sir Hugh Rose in his farewell order to his troops, 'and you have protected the rights of the weak and defenceless, foes as well as friends. I have seen you in the ardour of the combat preserve and place children out of harm's way. This is the discipline of Christian soldiers.'

………….. we have seen, the fortunate beneficiaries from one of the Lichfield charities received cloth gowns with the letters W.F. embroidered on the sleeves in honour of Mr. William Finney the founder. There were also the gift of Henry Greene to supply four poor women with four green waistcoats trimmed with green galloon lace; the gift of Thomas Gray to provide poor men and women with coats and waistcoats o grey cloth; the gift of Edward Rose, which was conditional upon the upkeep of rose-trees on his grave; and the gift of Elizabeth Townsend, conditional upon the singing at morning and evening service on the Sunday before mid-summer day 'the anthem composed by my late husband's grandfather, from the ~5oth psalm '. And there were charities for the benefit of persons bearing the donor's name, 'the charity',
