Biography
watercolour painter, daughter of John Greenell of Hertford and Marylebone, London, married the solicitor and art connoisseur Thomas Wilson on 12 October 1812. After serious financial reverses the Wilsons and five of their eight children left London in the Duke of Roxburghe on 3 April 1838, bound for South Australia. They spent their first weeks in tents until their prefabricated wooden house was erected in Finniss Street, North Adelaide, in December, moving into their second and more substantial home in East Terrace in 1846. By 1853 they were living in Barnard Street, North Adelaide. Although of delicate health, Martha Wilson supported her husband in his various roles as solicitor, mayor of Adelaide and art patron. In addition, Wilson and Borrow state that she was 'a skilled floral painter, and made many miniatures for her friends’ amusement, both in England and in South Australia’. She died on 26 January 1858 at her home at Childers Street, North Adelaide. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
