Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley
Euphemia Carrick was born about 1853 in Glasgow, Scotland – the daughter of Henderson Carrick, a money lender, and Mary.
She came to New Zealand with her widowed father and her brother in the 1870’s where she married James Nisbet, a painter, on 11 July 1878 in Dunedin.
They had four children and when Euphemia signed the suffrage petition they were living in the Octagon, Dunedin.
James died in 1914 and Euphemia died at her home on 2 November 1937 – they are buried in the family grave in the Northern Cemetery.
