Margaret Strickland (born c. 1880) was a prolific writer of magazine stories and novels for adults and children. The majority of this collection comprises original typescripts of her adult stories; these are often of a romantic nature, usually involving the upper and middle classes and sometimes incorporating a touch of mystery or suspense. Also included are a typescript and a synopsis from her series of Michael Gerahty detective novels for children. She appears to have been reasonably well known, with interest in her work being shown from abroad (one letter refers to American serial rights, another requests translation rights for a Javian magazine). She had an obvious love of animals-her children's stories usually feature almost human animals-and her other passions included gardening and crossword puzzles, which she compiled for various newspapers.
Margaret Strickland was a great niece of the famous literary Strickland sisters. Her grandfather, Thomas Strickland, was the youngest brother of Agnes, Jane and Elizabeth Strickland, and Catherine Traill. Agnes was the best known of the family and is remembered for her monumental work, The Lives of the Queens of England (1840-48). Margaret suggests that Thomas was viewed as the black sheep of the family, and he was barely mentioned in either of the biographies of Agnes Strickland. Several of Thomas' siblings, including Catherine and another brother, Samuel, immigrated to Canada, where Catherine wrote a number of books and novels and Samuel founded the city of Lakeside.
Margaret had two sisters, both noted for their ability in drawing animals and staid, country scenes. Agnes Strickland is still remembered for her botanical illustrations, and Diana Mary (later Mrs. Mallet Veale) moved to Rhodesia and became well known for her illustrations of native life. Early examples of the artistic work by these talented sisters include twelve issues of the Illustrated Amateur Magazine, a small 'publication' Margaret created with her sisters from 1897-1899.
Little of Margaret's personal life is revealed in this collection, although a quantity of love letters, probably written in c. 1900, indicate a serious love affair with "Louis"; she later married Richard Hugh Worley on the 19th of October, 1908.

From Dictionary of New Zealand Biodgraphy:
Samuel Tarratt Nevill was born on 13 May 1837 in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England, one of six children of Mary Berrey and her husband, Jonathan Nevill, a hosier. From an early age he desired ordination, but was unable to pursue this until 1858, when he received a legacy from his grandfather. He attended St Aidan's Theological College, Birkenhead, and for one year only enrolled as an extramural student of Trinity College, Dublin. He was ordained deacon in 1860 and appointed curate of Scarisbrick in the parish of Ormskirk, Lancashire. While there he met Mary Susannah Cook Penny of Heavitree, Devonshire, and married her on 3 July 1862 at Heavitree. She had substantial private means, which was to be of great importance in some of Nevill's schemes.
Nevill was ordained priest in 1861, and matriculated, probably

Description
History Nevill was Bishop of Dunedin from 1871. Scope and Contents Nevill left Liverpool for New York on the Cunard steamer "Scotia" on 9 July 1870. He comments on his fellow 1st class passengers and writes in detail about the "national peculiarities of Americans". From New York Nevill travelled by train to Philadelphia, Chicago, Omaha, Cheyenne, and Salt Lake City, where he stayed for four days visiting local clergy including Bishop Tuttle, and attending a Mormon church service. The train journey continued to San Francisco. Nevill stayed for five days and was most taken with the City. He left on 11 August on the SS Ajax for Auckland. The Ajax reached the Islands of Hawaii on 20 August and Samuel and his wife Mary stayed in Honolulu with Mr May a shipboard acquaintance. Nevill devotes several pages to his impressions of the natives. The description of the remainder of the voyage on the S.S. Wonga Wonga is brief. The Nevills arrived in Auckland on 13 September 1870 and "spent three weeks very pleasantly" exploring the city and surrrounding country. Nevill comments on the appointment of Archdeacon Hadfield as Bishop of Wellington. They departed on 3rd October, sailing down the West Coast past Taranaki, stopping at Nelson where Nevill visited Bishop & Mrs Suter. The Nevills were accompanied by the Bishop of Nelson to Wellington. The journal describes the scenery around Picton and Queen Charlotte Sound and comments on the grounding of the "Taranaki" in the Tory Channel the year before. Nevill met Archdeacon Hadfield in Wellington and attended his consecration as Bishop to the See of Wellington. The Nevills spent some time touring the district and journeyed to Masterton to meet family?. The journal concludes with an account of an expedition Nevill made with Dr Hector from Wellington to Wanganui. The last pages of the journal contain a list of duties performed on Sundays from 10 July 1870 to 23 July 1871.
