JEFFREYS ESTHER E 1061/1855 V18551061 43A INFANT MC
District MC is Church of England Bungonia Goulburn. Perhaps these 2 infants were twins?

I had a look at the death for Robert Jeffreys in 1855 and there is a baptism in 1851 for a Robert Jeffreys with parents Arthur and Sarah in Sydney St Phillips. Could be two Jeffreys families in NSW.
I have some notes that I copied from two books for William Henry Jeffrey and Esther gets little mention in them just she was born 4 July 1883. The book for Mary Hennessy's family suggests that Esther was not married and Esther Eve was her child.
Had a look for the marriage for her parents

Different Spellings in Different Registers?

Using the spelling JEFFERY in the search box, you will find a good many snips in newspapers about the JEFFERY families of Goulburn and Yass.

The many children of William Henry and Mary are shown on index, including Esther.
