Note 1: 1860/C171, his age 31, her age 22

Note 2: 1875/C294, Everett, father Charles Edward mother Mary Eliza Merriman. The 1875 date does not fit with Charles' death in Dec 1873. By Rod Fogarty's note, she was William Jamieson's child, and that makes more sense.

Personal Notes:

Mary, widow, married William Jamieson in Cooktown.

According to wedding certificate, Mary was a widow & 35yrs when she married William Jamisons, or spelt Jamieson. According to ages on certs. Mary was born about 1838, however, I have found a baptism for 11/12/1836 at Surfleet, where her siblings were baptised. She was 22 when married to Charles Evennet in 1860. 1841 Census shows Mary aged 5, & 1851 she is 13. Found 2/4/2009 shipping record for Mary Merriman to Australia. N.S.W. Assisted Immigrant Shipping records states the following:- Mary Merriman aged 21 born abt 1837, Housemaid from Spalding, Lincoln, arrived in Botany Bay, N.S.W. 27 February 1858 from Plymouth, U.K. on the ship 'STEBONHEATH'. Her father was Simon still living, & her mother Mary was deceased. Mary was C/E & could read.
According to newspaper, the ship left Plymouth 30 Sept.1857 , & arrived Thursday 22/2/1858 Botany Bay, Sydney. The Sydney Morning Herald 1/3/1858 details an inquest held into the death of Ann Cox, & the poor treatment handed out to the single girls by the matron. The single girls were taken in a carriage to Hyde Park on embarkation. The Stebonheath was struck by a hurricane in the Bay of Biscay on its long voyage to Australia. Mary was married in Rockhampton in 1860.
