Hi Allen
We have the same Mary Ann O'Leary married to Edward Clark on the 3 Dec 1956 at Holy Trinity Church, Adelaide and lived in the Tatiara District, Bordertown, SA.
I'm not sure if I can give you much more information regarding Mary Ann. I have been searching Mary Ann O'Leary's history for some time and despite the hours spent in the reading room nothing for her arrival in South Australia comes up in the search. I suspect she may have arrived in Australia either through Vic or NSW and then moved to SA overland as so many did during this time. Arthur O'Leary also doesn't show himself in any of the searches.
I know she came from County Cork, Ireland and was born in 1836. She died on the 16 Jan 1918 and is buried at the Bordertown cemetery on the 18th Jan. They had 10 children - Stephen, Edward, Mary Ann, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Harriet, William Jas, Margaret and Arther. I am descended from Stephen Clark who married Charlotte Henrietta Smith. If you are from the same line let me know, I have a lot on info on the Smith family.
Drop me a line if you like -
(*)Cheers
Bec
