There are a couple of deaths for the children:

Thanks to Cristobel from this forum back in 2008
I also received help from Cando and Gadget - thankyou :)
I have William Stephens as Henry's father (but I naively didn't note where I got that from). I also have Edward Fitzgerald as Olive's Father (again, no source).
cheers

Entry from the Biographical Index of South Australians (In part of a submitted nature but a most helpful resource to SA researchers)
STEPHENS William residence Adelaide religion RC
married 1 Jun 1862 Mt Barker SA to Alice nee HYNES
children Mary 1863, Henry Jas 1874, Arthur Francis 1877, Alfred 1880
We do tend to find some of our Catholic ancestors did not register births (they felt a baptism more important.)
Cheers Kris :)
