There are 2 MARY PRIORs in the 1828 census. They are:
aged 3 and born in the colony, the daughter of William and Hannah Prior of Illawarra. For the reasons in the following this is not the MARY PRIOR we are interested in. Advice is that this is a daughter of convicts WILLIAM PRIOR (born about 1780 died 2/2/1855) and HANNAH PRIOR (née COOKE born about 1794 died 14/2/1865). Their children are listed as JAMES (born 1817), WILLIAM (born 1818), BENJAMIN (born 1820), ELIZABETH ("Betsy" born 1823), RACHEL (born 1824), MARY (born 15/11/1826, died unmarried 28/9/1903) and MATILDA (born 1828). Note that WILLIAM PRIOR is one of the entries in the 1788-1820 Pioneer Register and that there is an earlier child listed, namely HANNAH (born about 1814).
aged 24, a Government Servant, arrived on the "Grenada" in 1827 and employed by William Davis of Princes Street, Sydney. This is a possibility as the mother of JOHN CHARLES PRIOR BOND, but if so she would have been 37 when he was born.
MARY JANE BENNETT, known as MARY JANE BOND, died 14/5/1902 aged 60, named as the widow of JOHN CHARLES BOND (Sydney Morning Herald 24/5/1902). She was in fact Mrs MARY JANE BENNETT (née WATERS), the defacto wife of JOHN CHARLES PRIOR BOND

LESSIE MILLS née SHIELDS may in fact have been JESSIE rather than LESSIE. Her birth given name in the NSWBD&M is recorded as JESSIE. However her death and her children's birth and death notices are recorded in the NSWBD&M as LESSIE, not JESSEE. The weight of evidence going with LESSIE is the reason for this work recording her that way
