Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Ellen Mann was born about 1837 in Suffolk, England – the daughter of George Mann and Sarah Salmon.

Ellen appears to either have changed her name or married previously as when she married John Andrew in 1869 her name was Simmons.

Ellen and John had three daughters, one who died in infancy, before they separated in 1888.   

When Ellen signed the suffrage petition she was living with her daughter Annie in Hampden in North Otago. (See 302 A Andrew)

Ellen died at her home in Hampden on 4 October 1925, she is buried with her daughters in the Hampden Cemetery.
