Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley
Julia Sarah Creasey was born on 14 April 1842 in Limehouse, London – the daughter of John Creasey, a warehouseman, and Fanny Lucy Dear.
Julia emigrated to Canterbury in 1865 on the Glenmark and she married, sailor, James Scott the following year in Lyttelton.
They had eight children and lived, at first, in Lyttelton before moving to the West Coast about 1890 where James 'assisted in the protection works at Greymouth and Hokitika'.
When Julia signed the suffrage petition, they were living at Cobden.
In the late 1890s they returned to Canterbury where Julia died on 2 July 1914 in Woolston.
James died in 1916 – they are buried together in the Lyttelton Cemetery.
