Charles Rolls b 1861 Goulburn, Australia

I am looking for info on my G-G-Grandfather, Charles Rolls.

Charles is a bit of a dead end in my tree - there was no Father listed on his birth certificate, I suspect he took the name Rolls from his Step-father Thomas. Charles' mother's name was Jessie Cummings, born 1841 in Wheeo NSW Australia. The other theory I have is that Thomas & Jessie were involved prior to getting married and as such Charles could be Thomas' biological son.

Someone might know something about that arm of the Cummings family, even?

Please message me back through Genes Reunited or email [email protected]

Thanks
Naomi
