Is there any evidence of the marriage between Mary Law/Robert Allen? 

[Milliepede]

I wonder if Charlotte remarried and died under another name?

There are some marriages 1854 & 1859 in Bucks for a Charlotte Priest to check out. 

Grooms are Thomas Green - Frederick William Goodyear
William Barnes
William Turner Gray - James Odell

Robert ALLEN, Marriage to Mary SAWE, 12 December 1838, Ashendon, Buckingham, England
(Familysearch.Org)
FreeBMD has Mary as Sawe also.

Thank you all, we do have a variety of certs. for Charlotte and Mary,but havent seen a death for this Charlotte, there was another Charlotte living in Tring but I believe she was married to Thomas
Mary was definitely married to Cutler Beckett,
I havent seen a tree for a  Charlotte marrying Cutler but that might answer one query, but bring on another. Perhaps the lady simply called herself Mary after widowhood
Mary and Robert married by special licence just before going to Australia as bounty passengers, and no, havent distinguished what happened to them after that
If Charlotte re-married, her children are then with Mary, her sister. Both Saw girls were born in Ashenden, the writing appears to say Law, but it is indeed Saw
Thank you both for your interest in our family puzzle, we hope to crack it one day!
I will now try to find the tree you mention

Would be good if we could find some evidence of Mary & Robert Allen living in Australia - maybe someone on the Australia board could find something.
 
I can understand if he died she maybe came back to England but why would she take on her sisters name Priest and claim the children as her own.

Maybe Mary had died and Charlotte took her name as remembrance or something.  It makes more sense to me we are dealing with one woman in England not two but is certainly puzzling.

Thank you everyone for working so hard on our query,we think , thanks to a reply on Ancestry, we have now cracked it as it were
We have a photo of Mary Allens grave in Wollombi NSW, which now appears to prove that she did not return to England, and it also appears that Charlotte, not Mary SAW will be our ancestor.It would be great to find her family in NSW, but I guess that is the next bit of detective work
As we set out to see if she returned a lot of things we know now fall into place, although why Mary not Charlotte on the English census returns- who knows!
I cant thank you enough
