    JAMES MACANDREW OF OTAGO SLIPPERY JIM OR A LEADER STAUNCH AND TRUE? BY RODERICK JOHN BUNCE A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2013 iii ABSTRACT James Macandrew, a Scotsman who migrated to Dunedin in 1851, was variously a businessman, twice Superintendent of Otago Province, an imprisoned bankrupt and a Minister of the Crown. He was an active participant in provincial and colonial politics for 36 years and was associated with most of the major political events in New Zealand during that time. Macandrew was a passionate and persuasive advocate for the speedy development of New Zealand’s infrastructure to stimulate the expansion of settlement. He initiated a steamer service between New Zealand and Australia in 1858 but was bankrupt by 1860. While Superintendent of Otago in 1860 and 1867–76 he was able to advance major harbour, transport and educational projects. As Minister of Public Works in George Grey’s Ministry from 1878–79 he promoted an extensive expansion of the country’s railway system. In Parliament, he was a staunch advocate of easier access to land for all settlers, and a promoter of liberal social legislation which was enacted a decade later by the Seddon Government. His life was interwoven with three influential settlers, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Julius Vogel and George Grey, who variously dominated the political landscape. Macandrew has been portrayed as an opportunist who exploited these relationships, but this study will demonstrate that while he often served these men as a subordinate, as a mentor he influenced their political beliefs and behaviour.

  • Canterbury Railways: Full Steam Ahead the Provincial Railways of Canterbury, 1863-76
    Canterbury Railways: Full Steam Ahead The Provincial Railways of Canterbury, 1863-76 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History in the University of Canterbury by Alastair Adrian Cross University of Canterbury 2017 Abstract The broad-gauge Canterbury Railways are considered unanimously by New Zealand historians as the origins of the modern-day railway network in New Zealand. Built by the Canterbury Provincial Government in 1863 to relieve transport issues between Christchurch and Lyttelton, the broad-gauge railway later expanded to reach Amberley in the north and Rakaia in the south, opening up the Canterbury Plains and stimulating trade and immigration. Brought under the control of the Public Works Department in 1876 along with several narrow-gauge lines built by the Provincial Government, the broad-gauge was converted to the New Zealand standard narrow-gauge in 1878 and the locomotives and rolling-stock were sold to the South Australian Railways. Unfortunately, there has been little engagement with the history of the Canterbury Railways in the last fifty years and in particular with the primary sources from the period since the publication in 1964 of W. A. Pierre’s book Canterbury Provincial Railways: Genesis of the NZR. The majority of what has been written in this timeframe has been for the railway enthusiast market, and therefore has contributed to the marginalisation of the part played by the Canterbury Railways in the context of the wider New Zealand history. By engaging with period primary sources held by Archives New Zealand and suitably supported with selected secondary sources, this thesis aims to recover this history within an academic framework considering, among other themes, the prehistory of the railway before 1863, the operation of the CR network and comparisons with other Provincial-era railway operations within this period.

In 1865 the Canterbury and Otago Association was formed, with the Glasgow financier James Morton as the general manager. It took over three large properties which had been selected by Mathew Holmes, an Otago merchant. In 1869 it absorbed the holdings of another pastoral company, the New Zealand and Otago Agricultural and Land Investment Association, bringing its total acreage to almost 500,000 acres.

  • VINCENT PYKE (Born Pike), 1827 –1894
    55 VINCENT PYKE (born Pike), 1827 –1894 Daphne Lawless Vincent Pyke’s main contribution to the history of colonial New Zealand was as a politician, a tireless advocate for the Central Otago goldfields and their mining and smallholding population. It is from that experience that he drew much of the inspiration for his fiction. Although described by modern critics as ‘crude’, ‘simple’, and ‘melodramatic’, his works hold the distinction of being some of the earliest New Zealand-produced and New Zealand-themed fiction to find a mass market in New Zealand itself. Pyke (whose family name was originally spelt ‘Pike’ until changed after his marriage) was born in Shepton Mallet, Somersetshire, England, the son of a tinman and ironmonger. Working as a linen draper in the regional centre of Bristol, he married Frances Elizabeth Renwick in 1846. The couple had four sons and a daughter, who mostly went on to careers of distinction in New Zealand. A significant turning point in his life was his initiation in 1850 into the Royal Clarence Masonic Lodge in Bristol. He was later to become a prominent figure in New Zealand freemasonry, and his political career was distinguished by his advocacy of the middle-class and upwardly-mobile working class sectors of society from whom Masonry largely recruited in the 19th century. The Pykes emigrated to Australia in 1851. Landing in Adelaide, Pyke learned of the discovery of gold in Victoria, where he spent two years as a miner before setting up a store in Castlemaine. His political career began as an advocate for the ‘diggers’ of the Victorian goldfields.

  • Profiling New Zealand's Scots Migrants, 1840-1920
    FROM ALBA TO AOTEAROA: PROFILING NEW ZEALAND’S SCOTS MIGRANTS, 1840-1920 Rebecca A. Lenihan A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2010 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own work and has not been submitted in any form for a degree at any university or other institute of tertiary education. Information derived from the published and unpublished work of others has been duly acknowledged in the text. Rebecca Lenihan, January 2010 ii ABSTRACT While New Zealand has been described as more Scottish than any other country beyond Scotland, and Scots consistently made up nearly 20 per cent of the immigrant population of New Zealand to 1920, as a group New Zealand’s Scots migrants have remained relatively blurred. The distinctive national backgrounds of New Zealand’s British migrants have seldom been recognised in general histories or in specialist studies of migration to the country, migrants having tended to be categorised as ‘British’ and ‘Non-British’, leading to what Akenson aptly described as the ‘lumping of all white settlers into a spurious unity.’ This thesis, conceived as part of a larger research project investigating the experiences and contributions of Scots in New Zealand, seeks to establish key characteristics of the Scottish migrants arriving between 1840 and 1920. Five core questions are addressed: ‘from where in Scotland did they come?’, ‘who came?’, ‘when?’, ‘in what numbers?’, and ‘where did they settle?’. While previous studies have suggested partial answers to some of these questions, the present research offers a more full and detailed profile of New Zealand’s Scots migrants than has previously been available.
