Mary Coker nee Dawson nee ? remarried 1848 to Thomas Hobbs - District MY – she died 1892 Cootamundra – father John Mother unknown

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/138364902?searchTerm=mary hobbs
mentions 1st husband as John Dawson but no mention of 2nd being George Cuckow/Coker and on her Marriage Banns to George Coker she has stated as Spinster..

Headstone on Findagrave has
Mary Hobbs born at Wellsby England 12 August 1815 died 13 April 1892 buried Cootamundra Gen Cemetery

Mary b 12 Aug 1815 Wellsby Lincs baptised 13 Aug 1815 Grimsby Lincs – parents John & Mary Dawson
Mary and family arrival 8 Sept 1835 on ship “Canton” - NSW Assisted

John Dawson died 1st Aug 1869 at Humberstone Burwood Mr John Dawson formerly of Great Grimsby Lincolnshire in the 86th year of his age. SMH Wed 11 Aug 1869
Mary Dawson’s Mum – Mary Dawson nee Hocknell died 6 March 1844 age 57

So am thinking that info on Mary Hobb’s Orbit is wrong – John Dawson was her father and her 1st marriage was to George Coker...
