Rebecca was born in 1857 at Tullylish, Down, Ireland
With her family, she emigrated in 1862 on the ‘Zealandia’ disembarking at Lyttelton.
She lived her entire life in Christchurch.
In 1909 she married Frederick Palmer. Frederick had a natural son and a step-son, whom Rebecca parented after Frederick passed in 1910.
I have been unable to find any information about the children of Frederick, except their names, Herbert Palmer and Frederick Palmer Vale.
Rebecca passed away on the 30 Mar 1924 at Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand
She is buried Linwood Cemetery, Christchurch.
