Most of the Rodkers were in the corset business. Ettie probably was as well because Rosie had Shors Corset Shop in Church Street, Stoke Newington.
There was a difficult situation that arose between Rosie and her sister Lily. Both were married, Rosie to a man called Laurence who had a bag shop. Lily was also married but she began to have an affair with Rosie's husband. Lily's ex later committed suicide. Rosie did eventually remarry, apparently to a very nice man.
