    • BIOGRAPHY

      Elizabeth Annis Spurdle was the fourth daughter of Oliver Spurdle and Maria Litherland, born 1863 in New Plymouth. Elizabeth spent most of her early life in Waitara and married George Joseph Harford in 1879. George was born in England and christened George Joseph Braine. He used the surname Harford in New Zealand and his descendants have that surname. George was a painter.

      George and Elizabeth's first child was born in Waitara, but they moved to Reefton on the West Coast before the birth of their next child in 1881, where they remained for thirteen years. About 1893 the family moved to Marton and in 1895 George purchased a painting and decorating business in Marton. After six years in Marton the family moved to Fielding where George established the family business of Harford and Son, painters. George and Elizabeth had 15 children.

      George served as a Councillor on the Fielding Borough Council from 1905 to1907 and again from 1909 to 1917. He was the Mayor of Fielding from 1919 to 1921. Elizabeth died in 1922 and George died in 1931. Both were buried in Fielding Cemetery.

      Source: Janette Howe and Robyn Spurdle published Spurdle Heritage for the 1992 Spurdle family reunion. The above information, by Carrol Crandall (Elizabeth's great granddaughter), is extracted from that publication. The book contains considerably more detail. Copies of the book are held at many New Zealand libraries.
