John

born
in Shropshire, England in 1812, arrived in Wellington,
New

From carpenter, builder, brick manufacturer,
land speculator, importer, merchant and landlord to civic leader, he ended
up being unofficially bestowed the title "Father of Wellington", in recognition
of his contribution to the city of Wellington (nowadays, capital of New
