Could someone help me please as I may have transcribed these wrongly.

Thomas James Knapp b: 1822 Devon, died 1855 SA
married:
1)  Eliza ? b: 1817, m: 1843, d: 1855 SA
2)  Mary Ann Flaherty b: 1813 Kent, m: 1848, d: 1891 SA
Mary Ann Knapp then married
John Beer b: 1810? m: 1858 SA d: ? SA

It seems that I have Mary Ann marrying Thomas in 1848 when his first wife Eliza was still alive and didn't die till 1855.

Kind regards
Bev

Looks like he arrived with parents and siblings - no wife.
