• Notes

  Her death certificate notes she was born in Ireland, spent 3 months in Victoria and 64 years in New South Wales. We know she arrived in Victoria in Feb 1850 at age 20 and was supposedly married in Sept 1850. This would imply she left Victoria immediately, but is in contrast with the fact that she had a daughter in Victoria in 1854 and a son who was supposedly born in Victoria in 1860.
