She married Henry Gear per Marion in Van Diemen’s Land in 1851 and received her Certificate of Freedom in 1856. Civil records show that her first child John was born in Hobart on 17/9/1852, several more were born in Sydney and the two youngest, Emma and Thomas, were born in Queensland in 1867 and 1869.
