Morling Lodge was an aged care facility with independent living units and a nursing home in Canberra. Now replaced by a newer property.

Thanks wivenhoe. 
Very annoying that death registration in England doesn't ask for parent names!

Trying to put a few snippets together.

So Sarah MULEEN, who is a witness at the Caroline/Francesco marriage is Caroline's stepsister, previously Sarah Jane BRYANT.
At her marriage to Francesco Yates, Caroline gives her mother's name as Kate McQuinn.
Sarah Jane Bryant, on her own marriage certificate, gives her mother as Kate Maguire.
The marriage of Thomas BRYANT in 1860 is to Celia MAGUIRE and later children to Thomas give the mother's name as Celia.

Just a thought - is it possible that Caroline's mother, shown on the index for Caroline's birth as "Catherine" is the same person as the Celia Maguire that Thomas marries in 1860.  There is no evidence for a marriage between Thomas and Catherine, nor a death for Catherine, Caroline's mother.

However, the newspaper reports found by Sue clearly state that Sarah has a stepsister.

Just a snippet which may be of interest - or not! And no help with Caroline

This birth (from Thomas' second marriage) in 1864 (#A5508), registered Bathurst, for
Sarah A BRYANT, parents Thomas, Celia

This marriage would seem to be the same female: at Waterloo (Sydney), reg 3428/1885
John MULEEN, Sarah Ann BRYANT
The image for this marriage shows Sarah, aged 21, born Bathurst, with parents Thomas Bryant and Kate Maguire, Thomas' occupation is given as 'butcher'.  So it's possible that 'Celia" may have been known as Kate - or possibly, incorrect information given by the bride.

Ancestry uses this style often. 

The first two names (forenames only) are the parents, the death is of the person whose surname is shown - in this case, the death mentioned is that of John D Campbell, parents  John and Mary and is almost certainly that found by others on NSW BMDs.

It's useful for searching.
