Douglas Mary Dunsmore McKain was born in Glasgow, Scotland c 1792 but moved to London as her stepfather was stationed at the Tower of London. It was here that she met her future husband, William McKain a tailor from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Douglas Mary and William travelled to Guernsey to marry but soon after returned to London and the tower where their eldest daughter was born & christened, and after this they moved to Cheadle in Staffordshire. Between 1809 and 1831 they were to have 13 children, 10 of who survived to adulthood. In 1837, William McKain died and three years later a brave and corageous Douglas Mary decided to emigrate to New Zealand along with four sons and the youngest of her daughters, Robina Agnes.

In New Zealand Douglas Mary stayed for a time in Wellington where she was a mid-wife, nurse and governess and where one of her sons John Ward McKain was to settle.
