Hi Bronwyn and thank you for the marriage printouts - my Sarah was definitely a Catholic also.
I have found reference to her to-be husband's (Friedrich Reichel) departure from Tasmania in The Cornwall Chronicle 4/3/1863 Launceston Tasmanian Shipping News on the "Alma" departing for Invercargill, NZ the day before. She may well have accompanied him at that time and if you have found no trace of her in the Tasmanian records after early 1863 that might have been the case.
I'm continuing to trawl through the Tasmanian records to see if I can come up with anything else that might progress our knowledge. You have clearly been very diligent in your searches!
I have found a photograph of Sarah in a family group taken in 1915, the year before her death - she outlived Fred by many decades, living first in Southland, NZ and then in Wellington with her adult children when they also moved north.
