It looks like she married Richard Roeton in Cannock district in Q4 of 1919.  Two Roeton children found with mother’s maiden name of Keight:

                          Birth
Last name  First name(s)  Q  Yr     Location
Roeton     Charles E      3 1920    Cannock, Staffordshire
Roeton     Peggy          3 1924    Cannock, Staffordshire

An Ancestry family tree shows two more children.  No records for such births can be found in Britain.  They may have been born in Australia so are invisible until 2040.  Or adopted, so invisible also.

Another Ancesty Family Tree gives the ID of a third child: Ronald R Roeton (9 Apr 1937-26 Aug 2019, both in Australia) who married and had three children.
__________________________

The account in the Tanner Family Tree on Ancestry suggests that they went to Australia in the mid 1930s.  They are said to have settled in Brisbane, Queensland.  Virtually no evidence is available to corroborate this.  She is said to have died in 1954.

In fact she died on 12 Jan 1977, from the Queensland, Australia master file:

Rose Roeton

Event date:            12/01/1977
Event type:            Death registration
Registration details:  1977/B/75201  
Mother:                Sally -
Father/parent:         Edward Keight

Her mother was in fact Sarah but may well have been known as Sally.
_______________________________

In 1952 she was on the SS “Moreton Bay” for Sydney Australia for future permanent residence. She was 59.  She gave 235 St Johns Road Cannock as her last address.  (Another family member tied up with 235.)
