Dubious unsourced assertion[edit]

" Rose married his third wife Carmel Mary Kerrison in Adelaide on 4 May 1955.[2] He had three more children with Kerrison whilst in his seventies.[6]"

Reference [6] contains no mention at all of any children from his third marriage. He married his third wife, when he was 57 years old. Why would they wait thirteen years before having three children ?? It's implausible. Is there an actual source for this assertion ?Lathamibird (talk) 05:51, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
