Jane's children's parents were shown as Edward and Jane, mother on board. According to Kay Phillipa COOK (nee WILSON) Jane's husband Edward ROSEWARNE, a miner or farmer, had died in the Poorhouse in REDRUTH, Cornwall, in 1845. It is also recorded on the Julinder's passenger list that Jane had a son, William ROSEWARNE already in the Colony, however no record of the marriage or death of a William ROSEWARNE could be found in the NSW, Qld or Vic BDM records, although there may be local Parish records. There is, however, a Vic BDM record (1878/862) of the death of a Henry James ROSEWARNE, age 54, (Father: Edwin; Mother: HOCKING - Jane; Spouse: Mary COOK or COCK) but he is not mentioned by Jane ROSEWARNE (nee HOCKING) as being in the Colony.
