William Massey
William Ferguson Massey, often known as Bill Massey or "Farmer Bill", (26 March 1856 – 10 May 1925) was the 19th Prime Minister of New Zealand, from 1912 to 1925, and the founder of the Reform Party. He is widely considered to have been one of the more skilled politicians of his time, and was known for the particular support he showed for rural interests. After Richard Seddon, he is the second-longest-serving Prime Minister of New Zealand.
==Early life==
Massey was born in 1856 into a Protestant farming family, and grew up in Limavady, County Londonderry in Ireland. His father John Massey and his mother Marianne (or Mary Anne) née Ferguson were tenant farmers, who also owned a small property. His family arrived in New Zealand on 21 October 1862 on board the ''Indian Empire'' as Nonconformist settlers,〔1911 Encyclopædia Britannica〕 although Massey remained in Ireland for a further eight years to complete his education. After arriving on 10 December 1870 on the ''City of Auckland'', Massey worked as a farmhand for some years before acquiring his own farm in Mangere, south Auckland, in 1876.〔http://www.oxforddnb.com/templates/article.jsp?articleid=34921&back=&version=2006-10〕 In 1882 Massey married his neighbour's daughter, Christina Allan Paul. They had seven children.
