Thomas Callow married Mary Jones in Deloraine on 23 Sept 1855 - 22 days after the birth of their second child. Archives have them as on the index of Convict applications to marry on 19 Aug 1853. Thomas was on the Nile and Mary on St Vincent. Does anybody know anything about those ships? Thomas died in Emu Bay in 1862 and Mary married James Wallace. What has confused the issue was that on all the children's death certificates she shows up as Marion Hoy. I think she was born in Manchester in about 1835 but how does one track her back on St Vincent?
