Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Beatrice Allen Christopher was born in 1857 in Patricks Plains, New South Wales, Australia – the daughter of Captain Alexander McKenzie Christopher, a mariner, and Maria Florence Lucas McCallum. Her father died in 1862 and in the 1870s the family moved to New Zealand and settled in Dunedin.

Her mother died in 1890 and when Beatrice signed the suffrage petition she was living with in George St with her brother and sister.
