Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Elizabeth Connor was born about 1833.

She appears to have been married to William Connor and they lived in Milton until 1878 when they moved to Gore and William started a fellmongery business on the banks of the Waikaka River.

When Elizabeth signed the suffrage petition she gave her address as East Gore.

Elizabeth died on 26 November 1895 and William died in 1905 – they are buried together in the Gore Cemetery.
