About Alfred Vipond
It had been said that Alfred left school at 12 and went to work in the mines because the family couldn't afford his further education. The story was that he was a bright lad and many years later when he was farming at Hoteo, the other farmers would approach him to look after their "books".
There is no record of Alfred working in the Garrigill Lead Mines, but the 1871 census records him as a General Servant (Farm) for the Curate of Middleton-in-Teesdale.
He may have been a Lead Ore Washer after leaving school, that was often the first job for a young lad entering the lead mining industry.
Alfred would have emigrated to New Zealand between April 1871 and April 1876.
Information from Betty Powell, Waipu 9 January 1986: Alfred Carr Vipond arrived Lyttleton on "South"
1 September 1874. I am unable to confirm this from any Passenger Lists as yet...but it would make sense.
Alfred is recorded as a Miner, Malvern, on William's Birth Registration and Miner, Denniston, on John Vipond's Birth Registration.
