Cecilia Paterson is my great, great, grandmother she signed both the 1892 and 1893 petitions.
She was married to Alexander Paterson and they had 9 children. They lived in Dunedin 55 years. She was widowed in 1916 and she died 08 September 1934. She is buried in The Andersons Bay Cemetery

I wish I knew more about my maternal great grandmother, but apart from the fact that she and my great grandfather sailed from Kirk Newton, Edinburgh Scotland on Nov 1878 and arrived in Port Chalmers Dunedin aboard the "Taranaki" in January 1879, there is not a lot I know. They lived in Dunedin all the remainder of their lives and are apparently buried in North Cemetery
