In 1849 the settlers of Nelson, New Zealand were dissatisfied at the way the country was being run by one man in distant Auckland. They wanted an immediate introduction of Representative Government into the Southern Settlements. They therefore took up a petition to submit to Parliament. It was signed by 392 of the local men - I have found a number of names that appear twice, but there is no way to know now (nearly 160 years later) if there were in fact that many men with the same name...

The objective was to show who was living in Nelson in 1849 to help those who suspect they had ancestors there at that time.

PETITION of the SETTLERS of NELSON to PARLIAMENT
Some names were very hard to decipher so if you know of an incorrect spelling or any other incorrect data, please inform me and I will gladly change it .. (but please, be constructive and positive so everyone may benefit. Don't be Beth Wagstaff (see William Bell). If she had kindly supplied the info she refers to instead of a condescending and evasive comment, everyone would be saved so much extra, time-consuming research. This journal was weeks in the making (as other genealogists will appreciate). Verifying info on William Bell will be done when time permits)

Arrived with his parents George Wales Lightband (1807-1891) & Ann Passey (1806-), brothers Martin below, Thomas Wales Lightband (1828-) and sister Sarah (1836-). The wine labelling at Lightband Wines is named after George. Brewer, grape grower, orchardist, leather tanner & skin buyer, businessman and supporter of the Maori people are a reflection of his contribution to the Brightwater area. His adventuring spirit sparked NZ's first gold rush. He was with William Jenkins and his party of Maori chiefs who visited England in 1863-1864. His Diary (pdf). Married Rebecca Brent (1839-1912) in NZ 1859 and had 8 sons.
NZETC: Mr Lightband was born in Worcestershire, England, and came to New Zealand by the ship “Thomas Harrison,” in 1842. He served his time at the tannery business under his father till 1851, when he went to the Australian goldfields, whence he returned to New Zealand in 1853. In 1855 he went to Collingwood, to prospect for gold, and was successful in opening the first payable goldfield in that district. A bonus of £500 had been offered for its discovery and Mr Lightband's case was pleaded before arbitrators, who considered that he had fulfilled the conditions, but owing to some unexplained reason, the money had never been allocated. The ladies of Nelson presented him with the British ensign, to be hoisted over his tent while acting in the capacity of Honorary Warden on the Collingwood goldfield. He also drew up the first mining rules and regulations for Collingwood, where there was then a population of 2000 miners. Mr Lightband followed the life of a miner for thirty years in the Grey district and other parts of the West Coast, and was subsequently a warden under the Government. On leaving Greymouth he was presented with a testimonial and a purse of one hundred sovereigns in recognition, of his services. Mr Lightband is well known as one of the leading fruitgrowers of the Waimeas and has about eight acres planted with choice fruit trees and small fruits. One acre is under irrigation for raspberry culture, and this method has been proved to be extremely satisfactory.. Died in a boating accident off Rabbit Island.
LIGHTBAND, Martin (1831-1914) - THOMAS HARRISON - 1842 aged 11. Worked in his fathers tanning business as a tanner. Later went into partnership with Benjamin Jackson as boot, shoe and leather merchants. In 1865 the partnership was dissolved and Martin continued on his own in premises in Collingwood Street. In 1858 he was one of the founders of the Nelson Coal Mining Company and was involved in the development of the Pakawau coal mine. Elected a Director of the unsuccessful Culliford Gold Mining Company in 1869 and in 1870 was one of the provisional Directors of the Nelson Patent Slip Company. In 1896 started in business as a grain merchant. On 25 April 1888 he helped found the Nelson Bowling Club. His own lawn was used for matches until the clubs greens were completed later in 1888. Became a Member of Parliament from Nelson .. more at his link
