Mrs Robert Rossbotham is a colonist of forty years' standing. She was born in Queen's County, Ireland, in 1843, and, at the age of twenty, sailed, in company with her brother for Dunedin, where she subsequently taught in the Catholic school for several years. In 1871 she was married to Mr. Denis Markham, and lived in Auckland. Eleven years later her husband died, and she returned to Dunedin, where, in 1883, she married Mr. Robert Rossbotham, by whom she had two sons. Mr. Rossbotham died in 1901, and is noticed as an ex-councillor of the city of Dunedin.
