Very interesting story, I love the way it's written, thank you again

Yes, its great finding details like this. I'm wondering though if Mary stayed in Adelaide?

This looks like the daughter's marriage

Thanks for the Marriage. Yes I think she may have done as the real wife Mary was living with the sons in Lambeth in 1851 and died in Lambeth 1860. But that doesn't explain her arrival in Australia unless she was another Mary and just called herself Mary Bull his wife.
