Agnes was the wife of Thomas Ireland. She was born Agnes Louisa Carney on 21 November 1840 at Edinburgh, and is believed to have worked as a governess in Tasmania prior to her marriage to Thomas in 1862.

Agnes had eleven children: three died in infancy and only three married and went on to produce six grandchildren. Agnes’s children were: Thomas George (1860, Hobart); Isabella Ann (1863); Agnes Louisa (1866); James Alexander (1868); Jessica (1869); Peter Thomas (1871); Isabella (1873); Thomas (1876); Edith Rosa (1880); Arthur (1883) and Lilian Mary (1884). The family lived at 64 Union Street, but after the death of her husband, Agnes purchased two more properties to accommodate her children at 352 and 596 Castle Street, Dunedin. She died on 14 August 1917, the cause of death being recorded as “senile decay”.

Others buried here: Agnes’s husband Thomas and their children Agnes Louisa, Jessica, Isabella, Thomas and Lilian.
