Mary was born in 1881. She was the daughter of Horatio Douglas Blair and Millicent O'Donnel.

She was christened on 10 April 1882 at Shahjahanpore, Bengal, India[1].

She married Francis Joseph Rolleston on 3 March 1908 in Timaru.

They went on to have at least six children:

In the 1938 NZ Electoral Rolls she was recorded at 25 Le Cren's Terrace, Timaru with her husband Francis, who was a Solicitor.

Her father died in 1939, and her mother in 1940.
