| 2. **Bulkley Campbell Mackworth Praed** (1875-1931), born 6 December 1875, less than two years after Maud. Rosa, like her step-mother, did not welcome getting pregnant on virtually a yearly basis, with Nora writing to her that 'I am sorry at the hint you give of future expectations but you could not expect to go scot free'.((Nora M-P to Rosa Praed, c.June 1875, M-P papers, JOQ, OM81-71.)) By the time Bulkley was born, the Praeds had abandoned their struggle to make a living on Port Curtis Island, and were living at Rosa's family home 'Montpelier'. Bulkley's birth certificate has one of the witnesses to the birth as 'Mrs Prior (Nurse)' - Prior is a common name so it was probably not her stepmother Nora.((Praed papers, Box 10, QJO.)) He was named Bulkley after his paternal grandfather. \\ | 2. **Bulkley Campbell Mackworth Praed** (1875-1931), born 6 December 1875, less than two years after Maud.

| \\ | In 1922, Bulkley married an American widow, Eda Vernon.((Patricia Clarke, //Rosa! Rosa!//, p.196)) Buckley was a loving husband and a stereotypical responsible eldest son - until he could take no more of the chronic, intense pain of terminal cancer. To end his suffering, Bulkley shot himself on 29 April 1931. Typically, Rosa saw herself as central, wondering what impact it had that, while she was pregnant with him, she was extremely distressed because baby Maud was 'so near death'.((M-P papers, NLA MS 7801, Box 1, folder 11.)) \\ |

| 3. **Humphrey Praed** (1877-1904), born in England, 9 May 1877. As was common for younger sons, he was sent to outposts of the British Empire to make his living. After an unhappy time in Western Australia, he moved to California where he was an assistant manager for a company that owned orange groves; he also bought his own orchard. He was a talented sportsman and a playboy: on 20 November 1904, taking an actress for a drive in his sports car (with his chauffeur in the back seat) in the early hours of the morning, there was an accident, and he died 'almost immediately', aged 24.((Roderick, //In Mortal Bondage//, pp.170-71; Patricia Clarke, //Rosa! Rosa! A Life of Rosa Praed, novelist and spiritualist//, Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 1999, pp.178-79.))\\ | 3. **Humphrey Praed** (1877-1904), born in England, 9 May 1877.
