Expansion[edit]

I have expanded the article a little :¬)

The issue with sources is that the source previously used in the article (Dictionary of New Zealand Biography) is at odds with the others. I have used it a couple of times again, especially for the non-ironworks detail.

I will also put it for DYK. Chaosdruid (talk) 20:27, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
