Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Jane/Jeanie Ure was born on 29 December 1863 in Dumfries, Scotland – the daughter of Walter Ure, a clerk, and Rachel Macleod.

Jeanie came to New Zealand with her family around 1868 and they settled in Dunedin. She did not marry and, when she signed the suffrage petition, Jeanie was living in Heriot Row, Dunedin. She later moved to Auckland with her brother and sister, where she died on 3 August 1928. She is buried in the Hillsborough Cemetery with her sister Mary.
