Born in London in 1832, arrived in NZ in 1864 and settled in Christchurch. He married Ellen Hockley and they had a son James John and four daughters (names unknown). He was instrumental in naming the suburb of Richmond and died in 1921. I would love to talk to his descendants, for a short biography.
