Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Priscilla Hannah Wastie Salter was born on 13 March 1847 in London – the daughter of coachman Thomas Salter and Sarah Skinner.

Priscilla emigrated to New Zealand where she married George Lyon Daniels, a farmer, on 17 June 1868 in Dunedin.

They had three children, one who was stillborn and a daughter who died aged five years.

George died in 1890 in Dunedin and when Priscilla signed the suffrage petition she was living with her remaining son in Andersons Bay Road, Musselburgh.

She died at her son’s home in Invercargill on 3 September 1933 and is buried with George in the family grave in the Northern Cemetery.
