She does seem to vanish after that last sighting in 1852 in Chelsea. Now that we have a more accurate birth year I have tried looking for Marianne/Marian any surname b 1804 Oxfordshire, I have also looked for Helen born New Zealand in 1842 and nether of them seem to be around.
No sign of marriages or deaths here in NZ and nothing in the Australian newspapers either.
