Events
| Birth | 24 Jun 1833 | Very confusing! The family has long believed that Mary was born at Bampton but HER own husband and children stated that she was born at Washfield, even closer to Tiverton.(in eulogies Tas newspapers) Marriage cert shows father is Robert, labourer - Washfield, Devon, England, United Kingdom | | | |

| Residence | 1851 | It is not long until her wedding and Mary Ann is lodging in Tiverton while working at the lace factory. Tiverton was known throughout for its excellent lace.

| Residence | 2 Sep 1876 | We know this is our Mary because she was residing at Blackwood, 43 years old, married and born in Devonshire. This is about four months before Albert, her last, born. | | | |
| Arrival | 1877 | After an excruciatingly difficult journey, Mary found herself at the end of the earth (she thought she had reached that before, but nothing prepared her for THIS!) Roots were put down, and eventually Waratah became home for the entire family. - Waratah, New South Wales, Australia | | | |
| Residence | 1914 | My great aunt Thelma told me she remembered her grandmother sitting by the fire. Victor Cloud Whyman states 'I remember her as a little old lady sitting in front of the fire with a little lace cap on, twiddling her thumbs. She was a lovely old soul.' - Waratah, Tasmania, Australia | | | |
| Death | 8 Jun 1916 | With the First World War raging, Mary died. A son, 12 grandchildren and a great-grandson had joined up and three grandchildren were killed. - Waratah, Tasmania, Australia | | | |
