    • BIOGRAPHY

      John Rushbrooke, the youngest son of Ernest and Sarah Rushbrooke, was born in 1901 in New Zealand after the family had migrated from England. In 1925 John married Dorothy Florence Paul (known as Dorothy Blanshard) in Te Aroha. The couple had a son and daughter. John drove horse and carts and in the Electoral Roll was listed as a labourer until 1938. Later John was a share milker and dairy farmer in the Te Aroha district until moving to Otahuhu in the early 1950's. He then worked as a mechanic. John's probate file lists him as a mechanic from Otahuhu in Auckland, previously a farmer at Waihou. John died in 1959 at Hamilton and was cremated in Auckland. Dorothy died in 1994 at Auckland.
