Sophia Louisa Taylor (2 July 1847 – 24 January 1930) was a New Zealand suffragist and landowner. ==Early life==
She was born Sophia Davis in Kaitaia, Northland, New Zealand in 1847. Her parents were the private tutor John Davis, who worked for the Matthews and Puckey missionary families, and Mary Ann Cryer. In 1855 William Gilbert Puckey dismissed her father from his position and the family consequently moved to Auckland. She married Allan Kerr Taylor, a widower with substantial land holdings who was 15 years her senior, on 8 June 1865.〔〔 They resided at his farmhouse, Alberton, in Mount Albert. They had six daughters and four sons, born between 1866 and 1888.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cabinet photograph [Sophia Kerr Taylor and children]; J W Edwards (estab. 1880s); Post 1885; XAH.GH.2.4 )〕 The family was actively engaged in St Luke's Church, following the Anglican faith,〔 whilst Allan Taylor's father and brother were all Presbyterian. The family gave the land for the church in the early 1870s and donated the church bells. St Luke's Church was registered with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust on 7 April 1983 as a Category II heritage building with registration number 681. Alberton was expanded to an 18-room mansion in the 1870s and became known for the garden parties, hunts, and other entertainments held there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alberton )〕
