Have no idea where Mrs Phoebe Wilson fits in. Relative of Benjamin's? or Sarah's? It is interesting that in one newspaper report on Mary Ann Smith/Canny/Clarkson that they refer to her as Mary Ann Clarkson, late Wilson. She was born Smith, took the name of Canny, married Clarkson so where did Wilson come from?
Also, Christopher Dawson Edmondson junr used the name Charles Wilson in the early 1900's.
Sarah married William Marshall on 28 May 1838 in St Phillips C of E, Sydney, NSW Australia. (William Marshall was born circa 1820.)
Sarah next married Benjamin Charles Farrow on 12 Aug 1882 in St Phillips C of E, Sydney, NSW Australia. (Benjamin Charles Farrow was born in 1829 in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, Norfolk England and died in 1908 in Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia.)
