To save me explaining about civil registration it would be better if you read some of the info on the net including this one http://www.judywebster.com.au/tips-qld.html

How do you know Maria was born 1854?  Info on death certificates is not always accurate.  Better to have the marriage certificate as the information was given by her not a third party.

And the same year as Hannah's marriage to Patrick CONDON.

Here is a marriage notice for Patrick and Hannah

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/3712491
The Moreton Bay Courier Saturday 5 January 1850 

It confirms the correct date of the marriage and also confirms the death of the Patrick CONDON which I have given is the likely correct man.

We are searching for events pre civil registration.  There are many opportunities for transcription errors to occur eg dates of events etc.

Sue the Inquest is not on the page linked but the next page - page 3

INQUEST.-An inquest was held at the hospital on Monday last, on the body of Patrick Condon, who had died on the previous night from injuiies received on the 11th instant, while riding a horse at a race in North Brisbane, as reported in this journal. Dr. Cannan, having made a post mortem examination, reported that he had found the right temporal bone severely fractured, and that death had resulted from that injury. The persons who saw the accident having been examined, the jury gave a verdict of "Accidental Death." Considering the extent of the injury, it was remarkable that the unfortunate man survived so long. We regret to add that he had only been married a few days previous to the accident.

Well, I don't know why my screen on the link shows page 2 in the page box using the link I have given.

There are some other items in the days before he died saying that they were all hopeful of a recovery .

Poor Hannah, What a start to life in Australia!
