Anne Jane Cupples

In 1859, her father died at the age of 55, and her widowed mother continued as planned to New Zealand, where she established a small school at Pelichet Bay, near Dunedin.

This book appears to have been inspired by her husband's unhappy teenage years on a sailing ship on the trade route between Britain and India.

[1] In a letter dated 28 Nov 1870, Anne Jane Cupples wrote to Charles Darwin to seek his help in securing a government pension for her husband.

[4] Cupples founded a school erected by public subscription, for the training of orphan girls and boys from Glasgow, situated on Duchray Water, Aberfoyle.

Anne Jane published George's life's findings on dogs in a lavish illustrated book of over three hundred pages called Scotch Deer hounds and their Masters.
