Louisa Christie Fuller was the second daughter of John Hobson Fuller and Louisa Fuller (née Vines).[1][2] She was a contralto.[3] In 1886 she travelled to England to study, before returning to Melbourne the following year, where she subsequently performed professionally.[4][5] Newspaper notices indicate that she performed publicly with her sister Amy on some occasions, including in Sydney in 1898[6] and in Perth in 1910.[7] Fuller toured and performed in London and South Africa, as well as across Australia.[8]
In Melbourne on 14 August 1890 she married Charles Carey Lance,[2] and after living in Euroa, Victoria and northern New South Wales,[citation needed] the family settled in Sydney. They had two sons, Arnold, born 1892,[9] Francis, born 1893, and a daughter, Sylvia, born 1895, who - under her married name Sylvia Harper, or Mrs. R Harper - became a tennis player who competed internationally representing Australia.[3][10]
Charles and Christie Lance were living in Strathfield, New South Wales when she died in August 1933.[3]
