Hanning, Thomas

Hanning, Thomas , Farmer, Hedgehope. Mr Hanning, who is a successful farmer, in the district, also owns a farm at Mabel Bush, and he has altogether, 350 acres. He was born in 1839, at Cloyne, County Cork, Ireland, and was brought up to farming on his father's farm. In 1861, he came to Port Chalmers, by the ship “Melbourne,” and started work on Captain Hamilton's station. Mr Hanning afterwards took part in the Tuapeka and Dunstan “rushes,” and then started carting to Kingston. He left this, however, to go to the diggings on the West Coast, where he spent about a year, and on his return bought a farm at Mabel Bush, now occupied by his sons. In 1883, Mr Hanning acquired his property at Hedgehope, where he now resides. He served for several years on the Mabel Bush school committee, and was for some time chairman. Mr Hanning was married, in 1862, to a daughter of the late Mr Coleman Ross, farmer, Cloyne, Ireland, and has a family of four sons and three daughters.
