Richard Ridings | RIDINGS, RICHARD (1808-68), born in England, came in the Bombay to Wellington (1840) and reached Auckland in 1843. For some years he held a responsible position in the post office, from which he retired to enter into business with his brother-in-law (W. Connell) as auctioneers and commission agents. In this he gained a competence which enabled him to retire in 1865. Ridings was one of the earliest members of the Auckland town board, and served for some years in the Provincial Council (representing Northern Division 1863-64 and Auckland East 1865-66). He was a strong separationist. He was a trustee of the Auckland Savings Bank, and a director of the Bank of New Zealand and of the New Zealand Insurance Co. Ridings died on 15 Oct 1868.
