Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley
Christina Morison was born about 1826 in Lanarkshire, Scotland – the daughter of John Morison, a master print cutter, and Mary Borrowman.
Christina emigrated to Otago in the early 1860s where she married David Henry Miller, a commission agent, on 18 December 1863 at the Albion Hotel, Dunedin.
They had four children and when Christina signed the suffrage petition they were living at Carisbrook in South Dunedin.
David died in 1895 and Christina died on 10 June 1910 – they are buried together in the Southern Cemetery.
