Mary Ann Friend, sketcher and lithographer, was born in London, daughter of John Ford of Hampstead. In 1826 she married Matthew Curling Friend (1792-1871), a retired naval officer, inventor and nautical scientist. Three years later they left Portsmouth on board the Wanstead, a merchant ship of which her husband was master, transporting settlers to the new Swan River settlement in Western Australia. They arrived on 30 January 1830, eight months after the first British settlers had embarked. In March the Wanstead sailed on to Van Diemen's Land, reaching Hobart Town in April 1830 where they settled.
