Looking for Hotel Owners /Proprietors of Wellington, New Zealand before 1900
One of the 'priorities', it seems, of the early settler to Wellington, New Zealand was to establish drinking establishments to quench the thirst of the weary traveller
Before 1900, considering the *population of Wellington pre 1900, there were MANY hotels, rooming house, doss houses etc
*During the last half of the 19th century Wellington grew rapidly.
In 1867 there were 7,460 residents.
By 1899 Wellington became a city with a population of 49,344.
I would like to reference these hotels with owners from the settlers of Wellington pre 1900
I would like you to help build the page - do you know of anyone who had one of the hotels below ? - An ancestor perhaps?
Do you know of other hotels pre 1900 Wellington not on the list ?
They would have changed hands a number of times, maybe you can add other proprietors ...
WELLINGTON NZ HOTELS - pre 1900
Some of the owners so far are highlighted below

Auckland Star, 18 June 1925
Mrs J. B. OSBORNE The death occurred in Auckland of a very old settler, Mrs Thomas Osborne, late of Brown's Bay. Mrs Osborne was born in Parnell over 70 years ago, being the daughter of Mr Thomas A. Harris, who landed in Auckland with Governor Hobson in 1840. For many years, Mr Harris acted as manager for Sir George Grey at Kawau Island and Mrs Osborne held many interesting recollections of the days when distinguished visitors from overseas paid visits to the great statesman's beautiful home. Mrs Osborne was two years old when she first went to Kawau and, after her marriage, continued to live there with her husband and family until Sir George Grey left for England
* Thomas died 13 April 1936 at Browns Bay, Auckland

PIONEER'S DEATH Mansion House Carpenter - Link with Sir George Grey. The death at Brown's Bay yesterday of Mr Thomas Osborne severed an interesting link with the days of the Waikato War and the second Governorship of Sir George Grey. Mr Osborne, who had reached the age of 93, was born at Beckenham, Kent and came with his parents and others of the family to New Zealand in 1958. The voyage occupied about six months. Mr Osborne's father was a gardener and he was employed as head gardener at Government House in Auckland under Sir George F. Bowen. When the seat of Government was moved to Wellington the task was assigned him of laying out the grounds of the new Government House there.
Mr Thomas Osborne followed the trade of a carpenter and as a young man served in the militia that protected the community against the war-like Maori. As a carpenter he was employed in the building of the Mansion House at Kawau Island for Sir George Grey (not built for him but he bought it in 1862 and spent a fortune developing it as his island home). It was at Kawau that he met his future wife, Miss Janet Harris, daughter of early and well-known pioneers. They were married in the old St Paul's Church at the foot of Princes Street and shortly afterward went to try their fortune on the Thames goldfields.
Returning later to Kawau, Mr Osborne was employed as a carpenter by Sir George Grey and Mrs Osborne was for some time his housekeeper. It is an interesting fact that the Sir George Grey collection of books which forms a valuable section in the Public Library was actually packed by Mr Osborne for despatch to the city. After the departure of Sir George from New Zealand Mr Osborne was employed for 14 or 15 years by the Public Works Department, finally retiring to live with his daughter, Mrs E. Wilkinson at Brown's Bay 17 years ago. Mrs Osborne predeceased him, but he is survived by a son, Mr Charles Osborne (Grey Lynn), Mrs M. Montgomery (Parnell) and Mrs E. Wilkinson.

Business Man's Death - Mr SAMUEL CLARE
62 years in Dominion .. The death of Mr Samuel Clare at his home in Bright street to-day removes one who has been a resident of Gisborne for the past 30 years and who has been in New Zealand for 62 years. Mr Clare, who was the youngest son of Mr and Mrs Isaac Clare, was born in Beamister, Dorset, England in 1858. When only 18 years of age, he left England with an elder brother for New Zealand, landing at Wellington, where he lived for a number of years, during which time he followed a number of occupations before going to Ashhurst, near Palmerston North, to set up business as a baker. Later he established himself in the bakery business in Palmerston North.Thirty years ago Mr Clare exchanged his business with one in Gisborne carried on by the late Mr W. S. Dustan and maintained it for a number of years before taking up a farm at Makauri. After retiring from his farm, he took up business again in Gisborne, this time as a grocer. He kept in that business until three years ago, when failing health caused him to retire. Mr Clare was of a religious nature and of a kindly disposition. He was actively associated with the Brethren for the past 60 years. The deceased was twice married, his first wife dying in Gisborne in 1918. He is survived by his second wife, six sons and two daughters, to whom the sympathy of their many friends will be extended. The family comprises, Messrs George Herbert, William John, Albert Edwin, Samuel Charles and Howard Percy Clare all of Gisborne, Mr Arthur Henry Clare, Tauranga, Mrs Clifford Ernest Church (Emma Linda), Gisborne and Mrs Sydney George Clist (Mercy), Taumarunui.
