Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Margaret Ann Geddes was born about 1863 in Ireland – the daughter of Robert Geddes, a farmer, & Mary Ann. 

She emigrated to New Zealand with her family about 1879 and they settled in Dunedin. 

Margaret married William Hugh Todd, a coach proprietor, on 12 September 1888 in Dunedin. 

They had seven children and when Margaret signed the suffrage petition the family was living in Cumberland Street. 

They later moved to Andersons Bay Road where William died in 1931 and Margaret died on 7 March 1937 – they are buried together in the Southern Cemetery.
