Mary Caroline Bisley (born Johanna Maria Karalina [Lina] Karsten) (23 December 1836-1917) was an early settler in Nelson, New Zealand, arriving in 1843.[1] She came to New Zealand on the St. Pauli, from Prussia (now Germany).[2]
Bisley's memoirs were published in 1899, and detail early settler existence in Moutere and the Nelson region.[1] Her gravestone is featured in the "Notable Women Walk" in Nelson. [3]
