Sorry to mallj i have only just checked this board and saw your message.
I have a bit of information on Martha Padget and her first marriage to Charles Johnson. They married in NZ in 1879 in Timaru from what i understand. They had 2 children in NZ and then followed Martha's family to Australia where Charles died not long after arrival. He is burried with Martha's baby sister Frances Padget in Rookwood cemetery in Sydney (we have a pic and details of this buriel plot). Martha went with her family to QLD where 10 years after the death of her first husband she re-married to Albert Henry Malon and had 3 more children. Martha died 5 April 1942 in Brisbane.
I have a lot more information on the Padget's now. If you want to PM me feel free to. I'm also on ancestry and more than happy to share any details!
