Her family, like a number of other families from around the Kangaroo Flats area, moved to Queensland and the Tara district in the early part of the twentieth century. Wilhelmina or Minnie as she was known to family and friends, had a number of siblings.

On the 1912 census Wilhelmina listed her occupation as a dressmaker at Cherry Tree with Emma, Henry and Christina Bogle. Between 1919 to 1921 her parents were living at Hoilstein Park.

Wilhelmina married Gilbert Bogle Jr. in 1915. They had four children, Innes Stewart (1916), Lillian Margaret (1918), Gilbert Vere (1919) and another son whose name has not been identified at this point in time. From 1936 to 1941 Wilhelmina was living at Dalgowie with her husband Gilbert.
