Born on 23 September 1805, she was the daughter of Joseph Marryat, M.P., of Wimbledon, by his wife Charlotte, daughter of Frederic Geyer of Boston, Massachusetts; she was a sister of Frederick Marryat the novelist. In 1832 she married Captain Richard Bury Palliser, who died in 1852, and with whom she had four sons and two daughters.[1]
Palliser took a leading part in the organisation of the international lace exhibition held at South Kensington in 1874. She died at her residence, 33 Russell Road, Kensington, on 16 January 1878, and was buried in Brompton cemetery.[1]
