Looking for descendants of Mary Jane Hebden

hello - any success with finding out about the family of Mary Jane Hebden? I am an English academic researcher currently living and working in Wellington New Zealand. I am trying to find out as much as possible about Mary jane Hebden - the first female lighthouse keeper in NZ, who kept the Pencarrow light at the entrance to Wellington Harbour. My information is that she worked as a keeper for ten years before returning to England with a female relative and her six children for the sake of the boys' education. I understood that only her youngest son, William, returned to NZ, to man the same lighthouse and I am intrigued to learn that all the children eventually returned to NZ. Do you know what became of them?
best wishes,
Val Diggle
