Margaret Alcorn : ウィキペディア英語版 | Margaret Alcorn
Margaret Andrews Alcorn (1868–1967) was an interior decorator and business owner in Wellington, New Zealand. ==Early life== Alcorn was born in Hokitika on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island in 1868 to Samuel and Jane Alcorn (born Andrews). Samuel and Jane had emigrated to Dunedin from Ireland, married there in 1865, and then moved to the West Coast. She had one older sibling, Mary and six younger siblings: Ethel, Olive, Winifred, John, William and Kathleen.〔 Samuel was a draper in Hokitika but in 1874 the family moved to Wellington. Samuel bought property in the city on Lambton Quay opposite the department store Kirkcaldie & Stains. He opened a draper shop downstairs and the family lived upstairs. The drapery business was successful, and the Alcorn children enjoyed a prosperous household with a governess and private schools. This life changed dramatically, however, in 1877 when a fire in the shop destroyed the business and killed a younger daughter of the family, Winifred, aged four.〔 The family moved to Ashburton and the children attended school there. Margaret became a dressmaker after finishing her schooling.〔
