I'm not sure if William and Mary had any children.
The births of 3 children to a William and Mary Downes were registered in the period 1839 - 1866, as shown here.
With 2 such common Christian names and a surname far from rare it's possible these were the children of a different William and Mary but there was no other marriage of a William Downes in NSW in the years 1830-1839.
