In 1857, Mary Callaghan married a young gardener named John Burns (or Byrnes) in Adelaide, South Australia, and began a life together in Campbelltown before moving to Hectorville.  Now, Hectorville is a twelve-by-nine-block rectangular neighborhood within South Adelaide.  Back then it was countryside dominated by the Cosford Estate.
