Rotha never married.
As a child, after her father abandoned the family, Rotha went to live with an aunt and uncle.
Census:
Rotha is found in the home of Ancon(?) W. and Clara H. Jenkins and is listed as a niece of the head of the household.
Clara H. Jenkins is Clara Hooper Jenkins, aunt of Cora and great-aunt of Rotha.
Census:
In 1920, Rotha is listed merely as the ward of Ancon W. Jenkins. His wife, Clara is no longer in the home. Remarkably, he has gone from 50 to 40 years old. It seems likely that the age in 1910 was incorrect.

Residence:
Rotha returned from Bermuda on 21 Jun 1937 aboard the Queen of Bermuda. She reported that she was 33 years old, born in 1904 in Whitman, Mass.
This is really probably 123 W. 13th St, since that's where the Evangeline Residence was located.

Some sources hint that her death happened in Hanover, but the Massachusetts Death Index says Braintree.4.
