In 1830 Australian-born Elizabeth (Betty) Guard – shown here in a shadow portrait – married Jacky Guard, a convict who, after serving his sentence, became a seafarer, whaler and trader. The couple became one of the first European families to live in the South Island when they settled in the Marlborough Sounds.
