Maude Burge was the 3rd eldest of 13 children born to Annie Palmer Beetham and Paihia-born landowner Thomas Coldham Williams.

Burge's paternal grandfather was Henry Williams (missionary) who translated the Treaty of Waitangi into Māori language.

George was the father of James Burge the English criminal law barrister who played a key role in court during the Profumo Affair.

Maude and George travelled widely and lived and painted in locations such as St. Tropez, Cannes,[9] Majorca, Ibiza, Morocco and Dalmatia, before returning to New Zealand in 1937.

Maude Burge died there in 1957 at the age of ninety-two and is buried at Masterton cemetery on Archer Street.
