Born in England. So how many children arrived with Mary and when?

The Sydney Monitor (NSW : 1828 - 1838 ) - Friday 31 August 1838 p.3
Deaths.
On Friday, the 24th instant, at her residence, Sussex-street, Mrs James Edrop, after a short illness, much and deservedly respected by all to whom she was known.

So it looks as though Mary arrived with two daughters Mary Ann and Eliza.
