Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Eliza Volittie or Violette Jones was born about 1864. 

It is unclear where she met/married baker, William Jones. 

They had three daughters between 1881 and 1896 – one daughter died in infancy. 

When Eliza signed the suffrage petition the family were living in Greymouth. 

William died in 1906 and Eliza died on 3 October 1913 – they are buried with two of their daughters in the Karoro Cemetery.
