• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY Mary Ann Spurdle was born in 1836 in Beaminster, Dorset, England. In 1841 she travelled with her family on the ship Timandra from Plymouth, via Cape Town, to New Plymouth in New Zealand; a journey that lasted 113 days. Nothing is known of her childhood in New Plymouth. Mary Ann married Charles Sutton, a farmer, in New Plymouth in 1853 just before her seventeenth birthday. Charles was born in London, England and had immigrated to New Plymouth in 1845 on the ship Ralph Bernal. Their first child Elizabeth Annis was born in 1854, followed by two sons, Clement Laurence in 1856 and Frederick William (stillborn) in 1858. Charles joined the army and was stationed at Karaka when Frederick was born. Charles was the Chief Supplies Officer with the Army. At the conclusion of hostilities in the Land Wars the family moved back to Taranaki where they owned a general store. Mary Ann contacted scarlet fever and died in 1864. Charles and his two children shifted to Raglan where he subsequently married a widow Mary Elizabeth Kescel (nee Wilson).

The book contains considerably more detail. Copies of the book are held at many New Zealand libraries.
