Joseph Dransfield
Joseph Dransfield (1827–21 September 1906) was the first Mayor of Wellington City, New Zealand from 1870 to 1872. He was the also first Mayor since William Guyton was Mayor of Wellington Borough in 1843.
==Background==
Dransfield was born Huddersfield, Yorkshire in 1827 where his father, also Joseph, was the owner of the Rookery Woollen Mills. He was educated in Huddersfield and migrated to Australia in 1852 on the ''Falcon'' when he was 25 years old before coming to Wellington in 1857. His mother and father also settled in New Zealand living for a time in Lyttelton. He was married and had several sons and daughters.〔Death of Mr J Dransfield, Evening Post, Volume LXXII, Issue 71, 21 September 1906, Page 6〕〔Ex Mayors - Wellington, The Cyclopedia of New Zealand (Provincial District ), Cyclopedia Company Limited, 1897, page 288〕
Dransfield's brother, C. E. Dransfield, was already in Wellington when he arrived and had established a general merchant business, which Dransfield eventually took over. They were major coal merchant into the 1860s, with supply contracts for the New Zealand Steam Navigation Company, and McMechan and Blackwood's fleets. From 1878 to 1879 he was President of the Chamber of Commerce having been a member for a number of years.〔Obituary, Wairarapa Daily Times, Volume LV, Issue 8562, 22 September 1906, Page 5〕 Dransfield carried on in business until ill health forced his retirement in 1888. He sold out the goodwill and business to the United Importers Company.
