Isa A. Roberts Drapery, Grocery, boots and shoes store with bullock team and wagon

Mrs Isa A Roberts was born Isabella Alice Kirwan, Windsor NSW in 1846. She married Mark Roberts in Queensland 16 Aug 1870. Isa Roberts died 1925 and was buried at St George General Cemetery. Mark Roberts was born in Sydney around 1848 and died 24 May 1880 at St George, Queensland. Isa A Roberts was known as a dressmaker in St George and later took over the shop known as Defiance Stores. She left the store in 1918 and it was taken over by Thomas Austin. Earliest reference for the store is in 1909 but that is the same year that the Belonne Beacon began so the store could have been around for longer.
