The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District]

McLaughlan, Patrick

McLaughlan, Patrick, General Blacksmith, Fordell Farriery, Fordell. Telegraphic address, “McLaughlan, Fordell.” Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand, Wanganui. Mr. McLaughlan is a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, but left the Old World for New Zealand in 1875, per “Dover Castle,” and, during the same year, arrived at the Northern Capital. After spending some three years in Auckland and suburbs, mainly Otahuhu, he came South and established himself as above, in 1879. Mr. McLaughlan's premises are fairly large and most centrally situated, next door to Mr. Ciochetto's store, one of the best in the district. Though so long away from Auckland, Mr. McLaughlan has very pleasant recollections of that beautiful city and surroundings, and is well pleased to have his memory refreshed by any old Aucklanders passing through the district.
