Notes:

For descriptions of Caroline's early life in SA and Vic (and as a state ward), see Notes for her father James Prior.

Despite an inauspicious start, Caroline showed the most stability and family consciousness of James Prior's family. Marrying George Vining in 1882, she settled at Fell Timber Creek (near Wodonga) running the farm after her husband died in 1914, and eventually moving into Wodonga on retirement.

When her mother became sick in 1907, she travelled to Adelaide to attend her, and brought her back to Wodonga to die.
