Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley.

Also signed as 103 Charlotte McKenzie

Charlotte McKenzie was born in 1872 in New Zealand – the daughter of David Page McKenzie and Helen Morrison. (See 103 Helen M McKenzie)

Charlotte was living with her family at East Gore when she signed the suffrage petition.

She married shortly after, in 1893, to Ernest Edward Wallis, a fellmonger and they had seven children, two who died in infancy.

In 1920 they moved to Timaru where Charlotte died in 1953 and Ernest died in 1958 – they are buried together in the Timaru Cemetery.
