Anne Wilson was the wife of the missionary, John Alexander Wilson who was attached to the Church Missionary Society. The couple left England on board the `Camden', a convict vessel bound for NSW in 1932, and arrived in the Bay of Islands in 1833. Anne spent most of the next five years at the mission station at Puriri, near Thames, with other missionary wives involved in raising her children, school teaching and household chores. She was constantly separated from her husband who spent long periods travelling through troubled areas of Tauranga, Matamata and Roturua. The harsh life took its toll on Anne, and after a long illness she died at Tauranga in Nov 1838.
