The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Otago & Southland Provincial Districts]

Mr. Mark Sinclair

Mr. Mark Sinclair , who was for four years a member of the Dunedin City Council, was born in 1843 in South Australia, where he was educated and learned his trade as a coachbuilder. On coming to New Zealand in 1873, he started the business described elsewhere in this volume, and still personally conducts it. He contested the mayoralty on one occasion, but was defeated. Mr. Sinclair has been a member of the Otago agricultural and pastoral association for many years, and has occupied the position of its president. He was one of the organisers of the New Zealand manufacturers association, and continues to take a deep interest in that body. Mr. Sinclair was married in South Australia, and has two sons and two daughters.
