    • BIOGRAPHY

      Mary Louisa Rushbrooke, the daughter of Ernest Edwin Rushbrooke and Alice Mary Wright, was born in 1898 in Hamilton, soon after her parents migrated to New Zealand from Norfolk, England. Mary Louisa's mother was the sister-in-law of father and her birth was registered as Mary Louisa Wright, with the father's name not recorded. However Louise, as she was known, was raised by her aunt and father and used the surname Rushbrooke until she was married.

      Louise was educated at Epson Diocesan School and after her formal education worked for the Auckland Gas Company in office administration.

      Louise married her cousin John William Pearson, known as Bill, in 1937 at Patumahoe in South Auckland. Bill's mother was a sister of Alice Mary Wright. Bill and his brother George farmed successfully in partnership at Patumahoe. Bill and Louise had no children. They retired from the Patumahoe farm to Manurewa where they died, Louise in 1988 and Bill in 1992.
