    • BIOGRAPHY

      James Darling Redpath was born in 1862, the second son of Thomas and Ann Redpath. James was named after his father's former employer in Scotland, James Darling. In 1890 James was working as a ploughman in Waitahuna according to the Electoral Roll. James married Mary Ann Blaikie on 25 January 1893 at Waitahuna. Mary had gone to school with James. The couple had four children between 1893 and 1900.

      James and Mary moved to the North Island after their marriage. James successfully balloted for a block of land at Rangiwahia in the Manawatu on 26 May 1893. They developed and farmed the block until September 1899 when it was sold. The Rangiwahia district was newly settled and farms were being developed, with the Rangiwahia Dairy Factory opening in 1898. Postal directories indicate that the family remained at Rangiwahia until 1902.

      By 1903 James and Mary had moved to Kimbolton near Fielding were James continued to work in farming. From 1905 until 1917 the family lived in Feilding where James worked as a storeman and later as a salesman. In 1918 James and Mary had moved to Auckland where James initially worked as a salesman.

      James died in 1928 and Mary in 1937. They were both buried in Waikumete Cemetery, Auckland.
