I'm not sure if you're still interested in information regarding Rachel Natelia, I've recently been researching her as she's my great great grandmother. After marrying John Casey in Newcastle in 1891 they had 12 children although one died in infancy. They are:

Mary 1891-1972
Charles 1893-1953
Peter 1894-1974
Violet May 1897-1986
John Albert 1899-1972
Andrew 1902-1971
William 1904-1905
Edith Natelia 1906-1992
Jessie 1909-
William James 1911-1979
Edward Carson 1913-1932
Allen 1916-1995

Somewhere along the way their surname became CASSEY.

They also moved from NSW to Victoria and finally settled in Mt Magnet, Western Australia during the gold rush. After her husband John died of Tuberculosis in 1921 she remarried Robert J Mead in 1923 at Jarrahdale, Western Australia. As far as I know they had no children.

Rachel died on 15th August 1936 in Perth. She is buried at Karrakatta cemetery under the name Rachel Natelia Mead, next to her son Edward (Ted) who was accidently shot in 1932 at the age of 19.
