The 2 surnames of Roy Francis are difficult to explain!  His mother was Ivy Denton, who came into camp with a toddler Elizabeth called Betty.  Ivy's husband didn't appear to be in camp.  In 1942 Ivy had another daughter called Camille Tweed who only lived a few months.  Roy Francis was born in Nov. 1943, and must have been registered at the hospital as Roy Francis Wright-Brown as that is the name I put in my diary.

Her surname was spelled Kinlock in a 1945 newspaper clipping, but official documents from the time used the spelling Kinloch.

Her funeral notice gives her maiden name as Kinloch-King, combining her father's and mother's surnames.

Brian gives her name as Margaret Ruth Wallace Cooke.

John Black's list gives Mr Rodger's occupation in 1941 as "Engineer".

Here's his entry in the 1941 Juror's List:

In Stanley Internment Camp, R. Heasman used to do violin practice in a sort of shed (used I think as the camp mortuary) near the gaol.

DoB from John Black's list, which gives Mr Heasman's occupation in 1941 as "Secretary".
