Bertha did not leave for NZ with her father in 1840. It appears it was about then that she married, in Kent, to Henry William Jones (1817-1892). They arrived into Perth, Australia on the 'William Jardine' 1 Aug 1852, with 6 children under 12 (added here as found). Henry was an assistant Warder, previously serving in the dreaded Millbank Prison
NOTE The 'William Jardine' left Plymouth on 3 May 1852 bound for the Swan River Colony. She carried the seventh of 37 shipments of male convicts destined for Western Australia. The voyage took 88 days and the 'William Jardine' arrived in Fremantle on 1 Aug 1852 with 102 passengers and 212 convicts. Of the 102 passengers, 95 were pensioner guards and their families, the number being made up of 29 pensioner guards, 23 wives, 19 sons and 24 daughters. The other 7 passengers have not been accounted for but were possibly cabin passengers or regular soldiers.
Bertha died 11 May 1866 aged 48 in Victoria and was buried at White Hills Cemetery close to Bendigo Creek. This may explain why her brother Stephen went to Victoria (he married there 1858)
