Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Emma Badcock was born in 1841 in Abingdon, Berkshire, England – the daughter of Isaac Badcock, a milkman, and Mary Warner.

She married Charles Judd, a widower and agricultural labourer with one son, in 1862.

They had two children, one who died in infancy, before they emigrated to Otago in 1875 on the Waimate.

They had a daughter two years after their arrival and a year later their 10-year-old son Eli died.

When Emma signed the suffrage petition the family were living in Opoho, Dunedin.

Charles died at his home in 1909 and Emma died on 9 June 1920, they are buried with their son in the Northern Cemetery.
