Henry family information


The Henry family migrated to New Zealand from Scotland in the 1870s. In New Zealand they played a major role in forestry, industry, law and philanthropy.

They had originally worked as foresters and timbermillers in their homeland and, buttressed by their staunch Presbyterian faith and a regimented ethic for hardwork, they established what was to become one of New Zealand's largest industrial enterprises.

The Encyclopedia of New Zealand recognises the Henry family as being one of the three great Scottish industrialist families that settled in New Zealand in the 19th century. The others were the Fletchers (founders of Fletcher Construction, see James Fletcher) and the Todds (founders of Todd Motor Company and Todd Petroleum, see Todd Corporation Ltd).[1]
