Clinch, George

Clinch, George , Farmer, “Craigielea,” Centre Bush. Mr Clinch was born in 1855, at Chilham Mill, near Canterbury, East Kent, England, and was brought up to farming. He came out to New Zealand in 1875 by the ship “Corona,” and followed general farmwork for about a year, after which he was contracting for eight years. In 1892, Mr Clinch bought 553 acres of land at Centre Bush, but finding this area too large to work profitably, he sold part of it, and retained 271 acres, which he has brought under full cultivation, and devotes to mixed farming. Great improvements have been made on the property, and a comfortable house and outbuildings have recently been erected. Mr Clinch is a member of the Benmore River Board. He was married, in May, 1903, to a daughter of the late Mr Walter Henderson, of “Craighouse,” and has one son.
