Marie Wilkinson was born on 30 March 1890 at Birkdale, Lancashire. She was the eldest child of the Reverend Thomas Wilkinson (d.1943), a clergyman ministering in Knowsley and his wife, Margaret Eunice Smith (d. 1935).
Thomas and Margaret had married in 1889 outside the established Church of England. The 1891 census, which finds the family at 3 Springfield Street, Wigan, Lancashire, clarifies the matter in that Thomas is cited as a Congregational Minister. He had been baptised into the Anglican faith as a boy of eight years on 19 March 1863 at St Peter in his hometown of Oldham. To the established religion Thomas would eventually return. The 1911 census finds the Wilkinson family living at Litherland Vicarage. Thomas, by now vicar of St Philip, Litherland, was described as a clergyman of the established church. He would subsequently return to Knowsley as vicar of St Mary the Virgin.
Marie was educated at St Hilda’s College, Oxford and was for a while Secretary of St Hugh’s College.
During World War I Marie was employed in Military Information Censorship.
On 4 April 1922, Marie became the second wife of Dr John George Adami, FRS, FRSE, CBE, LL.D. (1862-1926). George was an eminent pathologist who had been appointed to the position Vice-Chancellor of the University of Liverpool in 1919. The marriage took place at St Philip, Litherland. There were no issue of the union.
George Adami died in Ruthin, Denbighshire of 29 August 1926. The widowed Marie wrote a memoir of her late husband, published by Constable in 1930. However, her association with the university did not end here.
In the early nineteen-thirties, Marie became embroiled in the women’s rights issues surrounding the University of Liverpool’s eventual dismissal of Dr Margaret Stevenson Miller, following her marriage to a fellow economist, Charles Douglas Campbell. The communications between Margaret Miller and Marie Adami are held in the archives of the University of Liverpool.
In 1937, Marie published a study of Fanny Keats, drawing on previously overlooked primary source material.
World War II returned Marie to work as a censor. She was employed at the Postal Censorship Branch of the Ministry of Information, Liverpool. She was awarded the M.B.E. for her war work in the King’s Birthday Honours List of 1941.
On 22 November 1947, Marie married Keith Waldegrave Monsarrat, MB, CM, FRCS, FRSC (1872-1968) at St Stephen, Bath. Among the most eminent British surgeons of his day, Keith had been lecturer in Clinical Surgery at the University of Liverpool, rising to be Dean of the Faculty of Medicine. In addition, he was respected as a minor poet and amateur philosopher. Like Marie, Keith was from a clergy family, being the only son of the five children of the Reverend John Henry Monsarrat (1822-1901), Perpetual Curate of St. Thomas, Kendal, and his second wife, Eleanor Jane Hallowes (1834-1923). On one hand Keith was the perfect partner for Marie. On the other, he had never allowed his professional and domestic life to mingle, and his refusal to allow his first wife, Marguerite Ada Turney (1873-1947) any participation in the former led eventually to their separation prior to her death nine months before his marriage to Marie. It was to his son, Nicholas, that Keith described Marie as "an old flame". They were at ease together.
The couple settled into married life at Keith’s cottage, "Johnings" in the village of Woolstone on the Berkshire-Oxfordshire border.
Keith Monsarrat died on 28 April 1968, aged 96 years. His body was taken to St Thomas, Kendal for burial with his parents and sister, Florence Augusta (1873-1904)
Marie died, aged 90 years, at Circus Nursing Home, Bath on New Year’s Eve 1980, having survived her stepson, Nicholas Monsarrat, by five months.
Marie’s nephew, Dr the Reverend John Donald Wilkinson (1929–2018), Director of the British School of Archaeology, Jerusalem, arranged for her cremation in Bath on 9 January 1981. Her cremated remains were taken north to St Thomas, Kendal to be interred with Keith and the Monsarrat family.
