Alice Edith White was born in 1859 in Victoria, Australia – the daughter of John White and Jane Riddell.
In 1864 she sailed from Victoria to Otago on the Albion with her mother and four siblings.
She appears to have married Charles Edward Hartley, place and date unknown, and they had a son in March 1877.
On 17 May 1877 Alice married saddler Reginald Augustus Woolland in the Queenstown parish. Alice and Reginald had a son in Victoria the following year who died aged five months.
Alice returned to New Zealand and when she signed the suffrage petition she was living in Wain St, South Dunedin with her sister Sophia. (See 39 L S White)
Alice re-married in 1895 to Thomas Glaister, a caretaker. In 1916 Thomas committed suicide – he is buried in the Andersons Bay Cemetery.
Alice died on 1 March 1933 in Dunedin – she was cremated and her ashes were scattered.
