The 1893 electoral roll lists Mary Wallis, Glenore, Housewife.
Allan Waugh (great-grandson) tells us her maiden name was Mary Christina Wells and that she had 12 children. Her husband died at Seacliff Lunatic Asylum aged 51 having been incacerated there for about five years. Below are some documents relating to these events, including a letter Mary wrote to Dr Truby King, asking about the state of her husband and hoping for some good news.
