Carling, William

Carling, William , Miner, Livingstone. Mr. Carling was born at Stratford. Essex, England, and arrived in Victoria at the age of twenty by the ship “Suffolk.” He was on the diggings for about seven years, and in 1864 came to Otago, and settled at Naseby, whence eight years later he removed to Maerewhenua. Mr. Carling has always been interested in mining, and has seen the usual ups and downs of a digger's life. He was married, in 1871, to a daughter of the late Mr. James Logan, of Ayrshire, Scotland, and has five sons and three daughters. Mrs Carling, who is the mail contractor between Livingstone, Maerewhenua, and Duntroon, came to Port Chalmers by the ship “Storm Cloud,” in 1862. She has for several years conducted a convenient accommodation house, situated on an acre of land on the Livingstone Hill.
