Mary Anne Gutteridge immigrated on 23 September 1857 to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; per the 'Admiral Lyons' as an assisted immigrant. They left Liverpool in England on the 18 June 1857. The log book of the 'Admiral Lyons', declares that Mary Anne's father, Thomas, had died & her mother, Frances, was onboard with her new husband, Mr. Levi PLUMMER.

In the 1860's, the owners of "Gledswood", were James and Isabella Chisholm. Among the visitors to the homestead was Caroline Chisholm, a relative by marriage, who would visit "Gledswood" on her epic journeys around the state to find domestic positions for single girls who had migrated from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It is most probable that some of these girls became housemaids at "Gledswood". Was one of the girls, Mary Anne? In 1860. She was Housemaid in 1860 at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. She married David Boon, son of David Boon and Lucy Woolley, on 9 April 1860 at St Johns Church, Camden, New South Wales, Australia.1,2 Mary Anne Gutteridge was on the 1903 electoral roll.
