This biography is a rough draft. It was auto-generated by a GEDCOM import and needs to be edited.

Birth

Birth:
Date: ABT 1840
Place: Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, England[1][2]

Notes

Note H00116John was about 37 years of age on arrival to NZ in the ship "Nabob" in 1854. Worked at Nash's Brickyard for a time on the site of the Ponsonby Reservoir; engaged by Dr Pollen to assist Mr Dick Kingrose at the Brickyard situated on the banks of the Whau Creek near the end of the Rosebank Peninsula.
After marriage purchased property on the Whau Creek opposite Dr Pollen and there in 1862 they established a brickmarking business of their own.

Occupation

Occupation: Brickmaker
Date: 1867
Occupation: Manager of brickworks
Place: Auckland, New Zealand
Note: In "Fire in The West" by Robyn Mason, the date of 1852 crops up again with reference to Daniel Pollen. I imagine it will take a long, long time for this ill-founded belief that Pollen's brickyard and pottery works started at that time to finally fade away. It is ill-founded: Pollen purchased his property on Rosebank in 1855, a son was born there in 1856, but by 1860 he was over at Eden Crescent, having left the management of his brick works at least in the hands of John Malam. In 1852, Pollen was on Kawau Island during the first part of the year, moving to Auckland later on. The not-totally-accurate Goodall map of West Auckland brick and pottery yards is reproduced without correction. Also, mention is made of "the Craig family's Glenburn Fireclay & Pottery Co (Avondale)" in 1929. In that year, while the Craig family were finalising purchase of the Glenburn site with John Melville and James Fletcher, it was already (and had been since 1920) run by these two men. In 1923, the business became known as Glenburn Fireclay & Pottery Co.[3]
