John Karslake Karslake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Karslake Karslake (died 21 June 1872) was a 19th-century Member of Parliament in the Canterbury region of New Zealand.
Karslake arrived in Lyttelton on the Gananoque on 9 May 1860. The ship had sailed from London.[1] In 1861, Karslake was living in the Cheviot district.[2]
In about 1863, Karslake and Thomas Anson bought the Waireka run in the Malvern district.[3] The business partners bought Run 210 in February 1868, and about 1870 the two bought the adjacent Run 277. The combined run became known as the Torlesse Station, named after nearby Mount Torlesse, inland from Springfield.
He was the brother or nephew of John Burgess Karslake.[4]
