Although Thomas Rose had been a property owner in the Appin area for some time prior to 1827, he didn't move there permanently until after the death of his wife Elizabeth in 1826.
A situation then existed where Thomas Rose, a 50 year old widower with 6 children aged between 19 and 6 was living some two miles away from Elizabeth Woodhouse aged 31 who had separated from her husband (She described herself as a 'widow' in the 1828 census) with 5 children aged between 11 and 2.
Thomas and Elizabeth had a protracted affair resulting in the births of 2 children, Ellen born 25 Dec 1828 and Cyprian Walter 17 Dec 1829.
In the meantime, Thomas married Sarah Pye on 21 Sep 1829. Both children were named Woodhouse.
