When Bishop D. G. Monrad emigrated to New Zealand in 1864-1865, he left behind his two eldest daughters. This portrait shows Ada (Mrs Neils Fredriksen), with her son Ditler Gothard Monrad Fredriksen (the first grandson to take Bishop Monrad's name), then about six months old and Louise, who went to join her family later in 1866 (arriving in Karere mid January 1867). Louise returned home with her father to Denmark in 1869 and in 1870 married Otto Bache, a barrister of Copenhagen.
