Mr. Albert Carrodus , Postmaster at Reidston, was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, in October, 1864. By trade he is a worsted manufacturer, and served for about sixteen years as a weaving and spinning overseer. In 1883 he sailed by the ship “British Queen,” to Port Chalmers, and settled in Reidston, where he bought twelve acres of land, with buildings upon it. Mr. Carrodus acts as a wool classer during the season, and travels as for as Waihao Downs and Waihaorunga for that purpose; he also deals in hides and skins. He became a member of the Independent Order of Oddfellows in England, and is attached to the Hope of Maheno Lodge, in which he has passed the chairs. Mr. Carrodus was married, in 1877, to Miss Savill, of Bradford, and has had eight daughters and seven sons; four sons and one of the daughters have died.
