White, Thomas

White, Thomas, Farmer, Flemington. Mr. White was born and brought up in Lincolnshire, England, and came to Lyttelton in 1871 by the ship “Charlotte Gladstone.” He shortly after joined his brother, Mr. John White—who had arrived three years previously—in farming at Templeton; after which he went to Prebbleton, and remained there until June, 1874, when he removed to the Longbeach district, and bought 187 acres. He has since added to this area, and has now 450 acres of land, chiefly rich swampy soil. Mr. White resides on his farm at Dells's Road. He is married, and has four sons and six daughters.
