Witth her husband Henry, an influential early Church Misssionary Society figure, she left England in 1822, reaching the Bay of Islandas via Sydney a year later. While much has been written about the earlv missionaries and thier influence on NZ's subsequent history, much less is recorded about the few women who accompanied them. Marianne's experiences, as related in her correspondence from 1822 to 1838 give new insight into her isolated, lonely, often dangerous and difficulr life among warlike natives and with few amenities.
