Robyn says: Related to separation of John George and Elizabeth, and John left to raise the young children on his own. Unsure if they were reconciled later. Memorium to both parents at burial site would have been dedicated by the family. (I'm unsure when Elizabeth left the family. If it was when John moved to Ipswich, the children would have been young adults by then. Elizabeth was still on the electroal roll in Dalby in 1913, so Ivy (the youngest who have been at least 13 years old.)
