Henry Chamberlin

Henry Chamberlin (31 July 1825 – 12 April 1888), in many sources referred to as Chamberlain, was a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council.

He came to New Zealand in his late 20s with a younger brother and a lot of capital, which he invested in land south and west of Auckland.

After a failed attempt to win election to the House of Representatives in 1867, he was called to the Legislative Council in early 1869.

[2][3] After some years in New Zealand, Chamberlin returned to England in the late 1850s to marry Elizabeth Catherine Heard (1841–1929) at St Mary and St Peter's Church in Kelsale, Suffolk in November 1859.

[11][12] During the premiership of Edward Stafford, Chamberlin was called to the New Zealand Legislative Council, effective from 8 February 1869.
