Joseph Auty Harley

The Harley family appears to have been quite involved in Nelson politics. Joseph Auty Harley was the 8th mayor (1899–1901). He died in 1906. There was another Joseph Auty Harley mayor later on (1947–1956); this might have been a grandson. Schwede 66 11:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mayor of Nelson

Adding and editing as I sought out information - NealeFamily —Preceding unsigned comment added by NealeFamily (talk • contribs) 09:48, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice one. Thanks. I'll go and format it so that it appears in table format. Also, I'll change the redlink back for Francis Trask, as honorifics are not part of article names. Schwede 66 18:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Schwede for all your comments and assistance. I'll add more information as I find it and follow your lead on formating. (NealeFamily (talk) 20:05, 1 December 2010 (UTC))[reply]

1875 happenings

Good work. I've had a look what happened in 1875, and here's what I've been able to find:

seven new councillors elected without contest
new mayor elected

Hope this helps. Schwede 66 02:38, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
