Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Adelaide Eliza Hicks was born in 1869 in New Zealand – the daughter of Henry Hicks and, a farmer, Adelaide Martens. (See 86 Adelaide Hicks)

Her father died in 1884 as the result of an accident and when Adelaide signed the suffrage petition she was living with her family in Factory Rd, Mosgiel.

Adelaide died at her home on 2 November 1903 - she is presumably buried in the family grave in the East Taieri Cemetery although this is not shown in the cemetery records.
