    Notes:

    Her father Richard was born 1789 in Surrey England and his wife was Mary Diplock born 1791 in Lambeth Marsh, England. They were married abt 1814 at St Martins in the Fields, Trafalgar Square, Middlesex, England.
    When her husband was dying she travelled from Algoa Bay to King William's Town to nurse her husband. On her return she found that his partner had sold her out and left her destitute. Second marriage to Richard Wilkinson not good. She allegedly died in a riding accident.

    Some doubt exists about this lady.The Dell record shows that she was the only daughter of Admiral and Lady Gower and was married to John Dell Son of settler Edward Dell. The Gower record shows that she was the daughter of Richard Gower who apparently was the son of an Earl and his wife was the daughter of a Duke.
