A search of Trove will return reports of her doings in Melbourne. But nothing I can see before 1871.

Downloading the marriage certificate would help you.

Here's what I could confirm about John James Tickell and Jessie Melvin: John was born 25 Nov 1849 on Spring Street, Melbourne, to John and Isabella Tickell. He married Jessie Melvin in 1871 in Collingwood (Reg. No. 00996). No children were found in Victoria’s birth records, and neither John nor Jessie has a confirmed death record in the state—suggesting they may have moved interstate (e.g., WA) or to New Zealand. No remarriage record found for Jessie either.
