Biography
Probably born in Ireland (her younger sister was born there), and died in Auckland. Buried Waikaraka Cemetery, Area 2, Block R, Plot 065B
Findagrave information may not be correct as there are links to parents (Richard and Jane), and sibling (Jane Bycroft), which are at odds to her sister's (Emily) death notice, that names sisters as Eleanor and Georgina.
