Notes

Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley.

Mary Ann Robjohn was born about 1833 in Kings County, Ireland.

She emigrated to Otago in 1875 on the City of Vienna with her husband Henry William Robjohn.

They settled in Waikouaiti, north of Dunedin, where Mary signed the suffrage petition. They appear to have adopted a son who was born in 1891.

In the 1900s they moved to Dunedin where Henry worked as a butcher.

Mary died on May 3rd 1907. She is buried in the Southern Cemetery.

Henry died in 1911. He is buried in the Northern Cemetery.
