Born at Kensington in 1840, Mary Isabella Hollond was the eldest daughter of the Reverend Edmund Hollond of Benhall Lodge, Saxmundham [Suffolk]. On 8 May 1858 she became the second wife of Sir Henry Flower Every.

The couple appear on the 1861 census living at Egginton Hall in Derbyshire. Also present on the night of the census was their young son Henry, aged 6 months, and 10 live-in servants, including a butler, a footman and a groom.

Lady Every died, aged 95, on 9 October 1935 at 18 Montagu Street in Marylebone.

According to a report on her funeral at Egginton Church: 'A once prominent figure in the social life of the county, Lady Every was the widow of Sir Henry Flower Every, tenth baronet, who was vice-chairman of the Derbyshire County Council and chairman of the Repton Petty Sessions Division bench of magistrates. The present baronet, Sir Edward Every, is her grandson. [...] She survived her husband by 42 years, and her widowhood was spent largely in London' (Derby Daily Telegraph, 14 October 1935).
