Another West Penwith DREW in Queensland

I've spotted another one! Emma DREW, b. abt. 1842 in Penzance, daughter of John DREW and Elizabeth Lembrey EDWARDS, married John ODGERS in September 1864 and migrated to Australia in 1865 on the "Empress of the Seas", arriving on the 18 June 1865. They appear to have had 5 children between 1867 and 1873, but not a great deal of luck as it seems that 3 of them died in infancy.

I am trying to track down the burial places, but it seems that they weren't buried in any of the Brisbane City Council cemeteries.

Thursday night: I can find no deaths or marriages (before 1914) of the two survivors.
