..... The schoolmaster was named DALEY, and he used to keep the school near Matthew's Hotel. I
forgot to say that the store was kept by M O'SHEA. There was a blacksmith named John MOLLOY. He afterwards shifted over to Wellington when that place began to go ahead.......

Possible birth/baptism:- Anne Frances MOLLOY 20 March 1852 No place given only NSW per family search not on BDM (that I could see).  Father John MOLLOY mother Ann McCANN mother (possibly Hannah McKenna) one of the many variant spellings/errors.

The Frances Mary/aka Anne Frances (Molloy-Stewart) had three children before she married Mr. Stewart. 
1)  1870 in Bathurst Florence Mary McDonald died 1884 as Flora McDonald

2) 1874 Archibald b Gulgong to Anna Frances MOLLOY no dad

3) 1876 Colina Frances b Gulgong to Frances MOLLOY.  She was a teacher and a singer.

 Colina Frances McDonald had one child Eileen (Sister Mary MOLLOY) 1905-1984.  She became a nun I think in 1922 and is buried in Wisconsin USA The family rumour was that this Eileen (Sister Mary Molloy) was the illegitimate child of Mark Foy.

 Nothing to substantiate this though.  It may be interesting to see her death certificate from the US.

Hi Everyone I am just about to do some more digging into JOHN MOLLOY per Brothers arrived 1841.  I am just about to contact the Catholic Archives office again in Bathurst see what happens there then have a look around in Monaghan Ireland to see if I can link it all up.  Will keep everyone updated.  Kind regards Dianna

Following on wivenhoe's information about Mary M MOLLOY, as well as the thoughts of others, I do believe the one woman Mary made the 2 marriages to men WELLS who were brothers., Their parents being Isaac and Mary.

This obituary for a chap named Isaac Henry WELLS is the son of James and Mary M. (nee MOLLOY)
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/141712537

He was named perhaps for his father's deceased brother.

I do suspect Mary is she of the immigration record, daughter of John and Ann, especially as her parental names on the death index show those names.
