Hannah's third marriage was to Charles King 8 April 1858. Hannah died 31 May 1869. Mary-Anne Syred married Henry Saw who arrived in the 'Trusty' in 1848. The 'Saw' dynasty played a prominent role in the community including property now known as Plaza Arcade where coffee was first ground in the colony. Mary Anne sold off part of this property to support her children including son Athol Saw who was sent to England to train as a doctor. Athol Saw later set up a medical practice on the corner of Milligan and St Georges Terrace and became the Chancellor of the University of Western Australia.
