Formerly Mary Theresa Clune born County Clare, Ireland, 1846. Arrived in New Zealand alone aged about 14. Mary married Edward Tozer at Akaroa 1865, gave birth to five daughters and was then widowed in 1871 at Robinson's Bay. Remarried to Thomas Brough of Le Petit Carenage, Akaroa. The couple shifted to Whanganui where Thomas owned the Railway Hotel. He died soon after. Mary Theresa for more than a decade had problems with alcohol and as consequence, with the law. She was a feisty woman. RIP Great Great Grandmother.
