Lucy Ann Collie c1867 – 30 January 1927

Lucy Ann Clarke was born in New Plymouth, Taranaki, and married William Collie in 1885 in Invercargill. She was William’s second wife. Their children were Charlotte (Lottie) Ethel (born 1887), William Ernest (born 1891), Arthur Earl (born 1893), Martha Ivy (born 1895), Olive Lucy (born 1897). They moved to Dunedin in 1898 or 9. William was a publican and while their male children were educated at local schools, their girls were sent to convents, perhaps because it was not proper to have the girls living at a hotel.
