Sydney Monitor 15 Jan 1838 p3
http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/32158672?

On Saturday, the 13th instant, by Special License, at St. Mary's Church, by the Rev. Mr. M'Encroe,
Mr. John SPRING, of Sydney, to Miss Mary HAYES, eldest daughter of the late Mr. W. HAYES, of News
market, Ireland.

Not to hand just now, but........I think the death record for Elizabeth PURCELL names mother as Catherine HAYES?

Do you have any of the following certificates ?

Births
PURCELL Alexander John
Father Alexander  Mother Sarah Ada SPRING
At Collingwood  1862  Reg#8054

PURCELL John
Father Alexander   Mother Sarah SPRING
At Emerald Hill  1863  Reg#7752     Died aged 1 Day  1863 Reg#4117

PURCELL Adeline Lavinia
Father Alexander  Mother Elizabeth SPRING
At Emerald Hill  1865  Reg#2249

PURCELL Amanda
Father Alexander   Mother Elizabeth SPRING
At Emerald Hill  1869  Reg#22263   Died 1871 aged 1 year  Reg#3784

PURCELL Elizabeth Mary
Father Alexander    Mother Elizabeth SPRING
At Emerald Hill  1869  Reg#2247     

Death - birth not registered
PURCELL Amanda
Father: Alexander     Mother Elizabeth SPRING
1871  1 year  Born Emerald Hill  Reg#3784

I agree with others who would like you to attach the 1861 marriage certificate as a pdf so we need to click on the link to view.  Avoids breaching copyright issues.

There is no death registration for a Sarah PURCELL on my resource.  I tried to check Vic bdm however the registry index is not available due to maintenance.

I suggest you also search on TROVE using "alexander purcell" and select Victoria.

He appears from 1863 as being continually insolvent and not paying for goods purchased or rent.

I am unable to locate my CD for transcriptions of headstones for the Melbourne General Cemetery however considering the family's financial woes I doubt there would have been one erected at the time of their deaths and the grave has been re-used.

Yes, very helpful,  including that the Guardian of Minors gave consent.

Very speculative ...
There’s a William SPRING, a mariner, aged 63, buried St Stephens, (C of E) Newtown 6 August 1857, death 2nd August, late of the Benevolent Asylum. 

NSW BDM index has very little detail, ref #743/1857
