Hi Frances,
Mary Elizabeth McVey's parents were supposedly John Macvee and Mary Elizabeth Macgee (according to her marriage certificate). I think 1845/46 is most likely when she was born although one record puts her birth year about 1836.
Mary's maiden name is sometimes recorded as McVey/Mackvea/McVeigh, Smith McVey and sometimes just Smith. I'm not sure why. She was a spinster when she married in Australia in 1866.
She supposedly arrived in Australia about 1863.
Cheers, Anne
