Manning married, in 1873, Henry Heron, a solicitor in Sydney. Having visited England, where she remained for two years and a half, she adopted literary pursuits, and contributed tales and essays to the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sydney Mail.[2] Manning exchanged poems with David Scott Mitchell in 1864, suggesting a romance between them.[1] She also published a volume of poems, entitled The Balance of Pain and Other Poems (George Bell & Sons: London, 1877),[2] and died in Blandville, Sydney, on 25 August 1890.[1]
