Marianne Helena Brydon

Marianne Helena Brydon (née Carson) (1864–1941) was a domestic science teacher in Queensland, Australia.

[1] The family immigrated to Queensland, leaving London on the Young Australia on 25 April 1868 and arriving in Brisbane on 1 August 1868.

[7] Ten years after her marriage, the death of her husband on 13 July 1895[8] obliged Brydon to return to educational work, and in 1895 she opened the South Brisbane High School and Kindergarten.

[6] During the early part of this year she devoted much time and thought to the equipment and maintenance of the Housecraft Training School for unemployed girls on Gregory Terrace.

[6] Two of Brydon's sons saw active service in World War I, the elder, who held a commission in the engineers, being killed in Flanders, while the younger, who was an officer in the 49th battalion, was twice wounded before his return to Australia.
