Biography
Charles Alured Jeffreys (1821-1904), who emigrated to Canterbury from Wales in 1853. He had married Clara Ellen Parr, daughter of Thomas Parr, in 1851, and had been given land in Canterbury by his father-in-law as part of the marriage settlement. Jeffreys named his farm Bryndwr meaning "on the brink of the water" as there was a creek a good part of the way around it. He soon split up the land, giving the roads Welsh names. The Welsh theme is carried further than just street names: Garthmore, another Welsh name, at 142 Fendalton Road was built on Jeffreys’/Meares' land. Jeffreys returned to Wales on inheriting Glandyfi Castle.
