Biography
Death Cert. transcript states Maiden name Breen ,born Dublin Ireland,60 yrs in NSW, Married 1. Henry Pearce in Sacremento USA, 2. John Digby,in Sydney NSW.
Note conflict between POB (Dublin Ireland) stated in death cert. and POB in marriage Cert.Marriage cert.(New York America) more likely to be accurate as info given by Mary Ann herself.Marriage cert states maiden name to be Pearce. ........Very confusing.!!!

The marriage date seems wrong because Elizabeth Digby was born about 1866 or so (she married George Croucher). From the Fuller side of the family - Elizabeth Digby's granddaughter -Elma Elizabeth - Mary Ann seems to have travelled across the USA in a covered wagon at some point before arriving in Australia. So it seems she was born in the US and travelled across the country with her parents, possibly marrying Henry Pearce at some point before coming to Australia and eventually marrying John Digby. That would more likely match the childrens' birth dates as well.
