In the 1890's Margaret was running a restaurant in Princes Street, Dunedin. She then became the proprietor of the Sussex Private Hotel in George St, Dunedin. Robert Kennard was the hotel's manager.
By 1911 Robert and Margaret had shifted to Wellington. It is possible Margaret was running a boarding house. Robert and Margaret were married at the Registry Office in Wellington on 4 December 1912.
Robert took up beekeeping in Trentham after World War I. It is not clear from the book whether Margaret continued to run her own business during this time. She and Robert later lived at Main Road, Paraparaumu where Margaret died on 25 March 1925.

Youngish persons and children outnumbered the seniors.

The younger of the real old identities are now well up in years. Yet they last Hard work and simple fare toughened them, ' Some of the old mwi who took Dart in the picnic yesterday confessed to being a bit shaky in their legs, but all seemed alert in thought and speech. None of those present can actually remember the Magnet, the brig that Captain Bruce brought from Sydney in 1840. In point of fact, only three of the passengers on that trip are now alive.?namely, Mrs Mary Wolsey (nee Colman), of Port Chalmers; Mrs EJiza Burns (neeKennard), of Castle street, Dunedin; and Mrs E. W. Durden (nee Beal), of Invercargill;: and Mrs Wolsey -was tha sole representative of the trio at the picnic. see more in article.
