"Rosedale" Carapook "Rosedale" Carapook was the home of Alan & Amy POVEY and their two boys, Daryl & Bruce from 1941 to 1954.

Thomas (or Joseph) Matthews PENROSE and his wife Susanna JELBART were the immigrant parents of this family group associated with Carapook in the 1800's. Susanna JELBART was the sister of Joseph JELBART, who along with his family emigrated from Cornwall, England to Carapook in 1875.
The property "Rosedale" on the Bella Vista Road, north of Carapook was home to the PENROSE family c.1870 to c.1900.
A PENROSE family with 1 school-aged child, living 1 mile NW of Carapook was marked on the Carapook map but was not one of the signatures to the 1875 petition aimed at establishing a new school at Carapook. At this time it is difficult to identify exactly which PENROSE family group was at "Rosedale" in 1875.
