Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley.

Helen/Ellen and her husband Magnus Robertson arrived in New Zealand about 1890.

When Ellen signed the suffrage petition they were living in Brunswick St, South Dunedin.

Magnus died at their home in 1897 – he is buried in the Southern Cemetery.

What happened to Ellen after this is unclear.
