As Susie Warner she married Oliver Alonso Davis on 19 September 1869 in Brooklyn, New York. The marriage record notes that she was born in Western Australia and gives her parents as William Warner and Mary Ann Walker. The incorrect name for her father could due to the use of her stepfather's first name of WIlliam.^[2]

It's not at all clear how she came to be in New York.

She died on 5 July 1914 in Brooklyn. Her parents were recorded as Thomas and Sarah Warner.^[3] It should be note that death records can be an unreliable source for someone's parents.
