Diana was born at "Churchdown", a hamlet near Gloucester, daughter of Sarah Oakey and Robert Harris, Sr. She was Baptized 29 October 1809 at Churchdown, St. Bartholomew and St. Andrew, Gloucestershire, England.
She married Thomas Bloxham 15 August 1831 at Saint Mary De Lode Church, Gloucester Parish, Gloucestershire, England. Their first child, Robert Charles died in 1832, buried at Deerhurst, Gloucestershire, England. Five more children were born to them by 1840.
They and their children sailed with the Robert Jr. Harris and Daniel Browett families aboard the "Echo", 16 February 1841 from Liverpool to New Orleans. Their youngest, 11 month old Isaac II, who had been named for his paternal grandfather, died about March 1841 and was buried at sea in the Atlantic Ocean.
They docked at the Port of New Orleans 16 April 1841 and were in Nauvoo, Illinois by the first of May.
Diana then delivered Isaac III at Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois 20 August 1842, where they lived until 1846. During the next year they moved from encampment to encampment with the exiled Mormons of Nauvoo.
Diana was fragile in health after camping at various settlements between Nauvoo, Illinois and Council Bluffs, Iowa with LDS immigrants seeking shelter before moving west to the Salt Lake Valley.
Diana died at Winter Quarters about November 1847 and is buried at Winter Quarters Pioneer Cemetery, Florence (Omaha), Douglas, Nebraska with two of her nephews.
NOTE: Some reports were that she died at Kanesville Settlement which was on the Iowa side of the Missouri River in Pottawattamie County. Since it was all Pottawattamie Co. at that time, and she died in-between the deaths of her nephews, who are confirmed to be buried here at Nebraska's Winter Quarters Pioneer Cemetery, this researcher (a gg grandniece) concludes Diana is in one of the unidentified graves near her nephews. There is no stone or record of the location.
