The surname is incorrectly transcribed. It is QUEREE. Louisa Quérée was my great-great aunt. She was born in Trinity Parish, Jersey, Channel Islands in 1863. She emigrated to New Zealand with her parents (Edouard John and Mary Ann [nee Le Cornu]) and 7 siblings in January 1875, arriving in Lyttelton later that year. Louisa was a tailoress and worked with her brother George, a tailor who had a business in Cashel Street, Christchurch. She never married and died in Christchurch in 1952 at the age of 89.
