I'm inclined to believe that Rose Kelly was a descendent of Edward Kelly the scryer of John Dee. But is there any material evidence for this.

No.

Does anyone know where Rose is buried? Also there is not much about her after Aleister imprisoned her for alcoholism (dipsomania as it was called then) on her wikipedia record. I know of a lady who was researching a book on her but there are so many gaps to fill in.

It seems odd to me that Aleister, who after all didn't channel Liber AL as Rose did and plainly didn't even get along with the book for many years, should get all the credit for it. At this years International Thelemic Symposium there was a call to revive Rose's profile along with many of the scarlet women and restore them as thelemic heroines. I am not saying that they should have their stories glossed over, as is often the case with Aleister for example, merely that we actually know what happened to them and give them credit for what they achieved.

According to the surviving accounts of what went down at the Cairo Working, Rose was not even in the room when Liber AL was dictated to Crowley, so I am unsure what proof you have of your assertions.

That being said, Rose has been restored to receiving credit in the Centennial edition of the Book of the Law.
