On 7 January 1929, a message was received at police headquarters from Inspector I Leen, of Roebourne, to the effect that it was believed that George Collier had been lost while on a prospecting trip.

Witnesses present at the burial of the child were Carrie and Walter Francis.  The child was buried by his father, John Stuart, a station cook.  At the time of the death, Oscar Leonard and Frederick Walter Smith owned Rocklea Station. 

The marriage of Miss May Francis to Mr Jock Stewart took place in Onslow 23 May 1938. ("Northern Times" 27 May 1938). Following their wedding, they left by car for the Melrose Gold Mine where Mr Stuart had opened a boarding-house.  

Walter Alfred Francis and Carrie Wilson were the parents of May. Walter and Carrie's marriage was registered in Roebourne in 1928 as were the births of all six of their children, with the registration numbers being all sequential. However, from marriage and death dates and ages, these children were born before that date starting about 1902. Walter was a kangarooer, blacksmith and later mailman in Roebourne. May was the fifth of their children.

John Stuart, also known as Jock, was a station cook, a miner and driller in the Roebourne and Whim Creek area. He and Maisie were living in Koongamia when John died in 1975 and Maisie in 1979. From the Karrakatta record of her burial, she was born about 1911.

There is an unnamed male child born in 1949 in Subiaco to John and Maisie Stuart but again, the child was not born alive (Death Registration 100495/1949, Perth).
