Martha and her sister were admitted to the Orphan School but had three younger siblings: Lucy, William (my gggrandfather) and Imogen that were not? Imogen died in the Cascades female factory on 1964, so I assume she was with her mother Mary Ann when she was gaoled. Martha married Frederick Howell and died in 1905.
