Hi Dee
The Mary Clegg on Oraparinna Station in 1865 would appear to be the one who married Mark Francis. The other Mary Clegg of matching age married Louis Holzberger - and it was she who was the daughter of Benjamin Clegg.
Mark Francis, son of Edward Francis, was working a mine near the (then) Angorichina Outstation (the Carey Hill Mine, which he called the Mount Carey Mine). At that stage, Carey Hill was on the Oraparinna Station, so he would no doubt have met that Mary Clegg while working there.
At least it all solves a puzzle I have had for years - what became of the Mary Clegg who worked on Oraparinna!
If you wish, you can check out my Clegg clippings at my Evernote online storage at:

That URL should give you free and no-joining access to that bundle of clippings - let me know if it doesn't work.
