How accurate the above information is I am not sure, on Hannah Mellor's Death Certificate it lists the following children:

Sarah 24, Andrew 21, Isaac 20, Godfrey 15, James 13, Ann 10 and John 9.

Hannah died 1859 at the age of 45. She had been in the colony 3 1/2 years. Place of Birth Wooldale, Yorkshire. The informant was her husband George Meller.

I cannot explain the differences in the details of the children. Either Andrew Mellor (brother) the informant on George's death certificate had gotten confused and accidently put other neices on the Death Certificate. I would have to say that Hannah's Death Certificate is more likely to be the more accurate, being that George was the informant.
