She married George Ebden in 1843 or 1849.[1] The children of George and Susan were:

  1. Giles Ebden (1850–~1878)
  2. Mary Jane Ebden (~1851–1918)
  3. Hannah Ebdon (1855–1882)
  4. William Ebdon (1857–1910)
  5. George Ebden (1859– )
  6. James Ebden (1861–1924)
  7. Susan Ann Ebden (1864– )
  8. Martha Elizabeth Ebden (1865–1953)
  9. Esther Ebden (1868–1902)
  10. Edward George Ebden (1869–1954)
  11. Ellen Maude Ebden (1873– )

She passed away in 1894[2][3][4] and is buried in Christ Church Cemetery, Taita.[5]

Research Notes

It is assumed that Susan Worsell is the same person as Susan Osborne Prouse mentioned in FindaGrave. The NZBDM date of the marriage may have been incorrectly transcribed and should be 1849 as she would have only been 13 at marriage as opposed to 18.

Prouse-345 and Worsell-45 appear to represent the same person because: they appear to be the same person. The newspaper obituary of Susan Ebden mentions she came on the Duke of Roxburgh. Find a Grave believes she is the same person. Unfortunately, I can't provide anything better than that. (And the marriage registration muddies the waters too!)
