Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Rohu family, ca. 1916.
Henry Rohu and Ada had seven children, Alver, Sylvester, Elsie May, Ada, Ruby, Millicent and Jane. Henry deserted Ada in April 1890 and Ada petitioned for divorce in November of that year. Henry moved to New Guinea and spent some years pearl fishing, exploring and hunting specimens for the British Museum. He was appointed to the staff of the resident Magistrate on the north east coast of New Guinea and is credited with the discovery of a hitherto unknown bat which he presented to the British Museum and which has been named after him. It was during his time in New Guinea (1895) that, like Robinson Crusoe, he was marooned for over a year on a sandbank and survived. This remarkable story is recorded in the Wide World Magazine in 1909. This Family photograph was probably taken in 1916 before Sil embarked for the Great War.
Back: Alver, Ada (McCann), Millicent. Middle: Sil, Elsie May, Ella McCann, Ada Jane. Front: unknown man. The two little girls are Millicent's daughters Ada and Sylvia Robey. Interestingly, John (Jack) is dressed in girl's clothes, as was custom in West of Ireland, to ward off fairies! Tragedy was to hit the family in 1902 when Ruby died of bubonic plague.
