Sibella Ross

Sibella Mary Ross (née Wilson; 1840 – 7 September 1929) was a New Zealand schoolteacher and businesswoman.

George Ross was declared bankrupt and had a mental and physical breakdown; at the time, the couple had seven children aged under 10 years old.

The family moved to live with Ross' parents at their property in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch.

Her father purchased land on the corner of Montreal and Peterborough Streets and built a small building which Ross used to establish a boys' school.

Ross House was sold to Canterbury College, as the university wanted to build a new art school.
