William Wastney

WASTNEY, WILLIAM (1831-1911) was born at Sheffield and came to New Zealand in the Lloyds (1842) with his mother, his father having come earlier with Captain Wakefield. He did his share of pioneer work as a boy and assisted his father as a builder. Eventually they took up a farm at Wakapuaka. Wastney's father was a member of the Provincial Council for Nelson Suburban district (1855-57) and his uncle (Edmund Wastney 1807-71), who came with Wakefield, also represented that electorate (1867-69). William himself was then member from 1869 till the abolition of the provinces. He was also a member of the road board and the education board, chairman of the suburban North school committee and chairman of the Waimea county council. He twice contested a seat in Parliament, once against A. J. Richmond and later against J. Shephard. He died on 15 Nov 1911.
