The birth records currently referenced in this profile have different parents. She died age 80 in 1916 which would give her a year of birth around 1836. From 1834 to 1837 her parents were living in Albany Western Australia so I suggest Albany was her birthplace circa 1836.

Sorry that I've made a mistake on this profile. She is very much on the edge of my research. Would you be so kind as to take her over and correct her? I'd really appreciate that.
