  BIOGRAPHY. The following information is from a 2015 interview of Frederick (Fred) Rawhiti Bradshaw published on https://knowledgebank.org.nz/audio/frederick-fred-rawhiti-bradshaw-interview/' target='_blank'>Hawke's Bay Knowledge Bank (Hawke's Bay Digital Archives Trust). Frederick (Fred) Rawhiti Bradshaw was the son of English parents, Albert Ernest Shufflebotham and Daisy Walters, and was born in Hawkes Bay in 1926. His father had the family name changed to Bradshaw when Fred's elder brother Ivan was teased at high school. The family lived at Haumoana and Fred attended Haumoana School and Napier Boys' High School. After leaving school Fred worked with his brother Ivan on his father's dairy farm in York Road, Hastings. Fred trained as a radio operator at New Zealand Radio College in Auckland, before a eight year career with the Union Steamship Company of NZ as a radio officer. He then returned to Hawkes Bay to work with his brother Ivan, growing crops both on land they owned and share cropping: tomatoes, potatoes, peas and carrots for Watties. They also dairy farmed. After several years of working with his brother, Fred obtained a 26 acre orchard block in York Road where he produced apples and pears for twenty years. After Fred sold his orchard he worked as Pack House Manager for the NZ Apple and Pear Marketing Board. Fred married Hazel Mulholland about 1950 and they had a son and a daughter. In 1981 Fred and Hazel retired to Havelock North. Fred and Hazel both died in 2019 and were buried in Havelock North. [2]
