The Mary A that they have is not correct, it is Mary Jane. she was born 03 APR 1841 • Petersham, New South Wales, Australia; Angle Farm (Staines Farm)
I do have her baptism, it does have Jane stated as Mother with Henry.
( I have actually found a few births with written Anglican Parish records recorded before marriage, I don't think it was the done thing but it seems to be common throughout these lines)
I am about to go to bed but I will upload her baptism tomorrow to her media, also I have found tonight about Maria Collis 05 DEC 1842 • Petersham, New South Wales, Australia; Oatley's Farm DEATH 10 FEB 1907 • Dunolly, Victoria, Australia a Story that was she was kidnapped :
Maria Hill of North Dunolly
This person used this address when signing the Women's Suffrage petition in 1891. Log in to edit this section.
Maria Hill was born in Sydney on 5 December 1842, one of fourteen children of Henry Collis and his wife Jane (nee Ibbotson). The family story is that neighbours Betsy and Alfred Rippin, a childless couple, abducted Maria and her family never heard from her again. She grew up as Maria Collis Rippin, traveling the goldfields until her “new” parents settled in the Dunolly area.
In 1860, Maria married Joseph Hill, a battery operator. She bore him eighteen children, six of whom died in infancy. By the time Maria and her daughter Mary signed the Woman’s Suffrage Petition, the family was at the peak of its prosperity, with Joseph proprietor and manager of the Union Flour Mill at North Dunolly. However, later in 1891 they lost heavily when the mill burnt down.
The Hills then purchased a bakery, Joseph doing the baking and Maria running the shop. Steadily they recouped their losses.
Maria suffered from diabetes and died from complications in 1907 at the age of 64. While she, therefore, missed seeing women win the vote in Victoria, she was on the electoral roll for the first Commonwealth Election in 1903. She was remembered by her granddaughters as “an admirable woman, hard-working, indomitable, stern and somewhat managing”, but much loved.
