Overview
Charles Partridge Hulbert (25 August 1841 – 22 June 1926) was Mayor of Christchurch in from December 1883 to December 1885.
Early life
Hulbert was born in Bedminster, Bristol, Somerset, England in 1841. His parents were John Burgess Hulbert (born 1810) and Elizabeth Hulbert (née Partridge, born 1810). On 22 October 1856, many members of the Hulbert family left Bristol on board the Appleton as assisted passengers (i.e. another party paid for their passage, probably the Victorian government) and reached Melbourne on 25 January 1857.
He came to New Zealand in 1860 and participated in the Otago Gold Rush in Gabriel's Gully in 1863. He fought in the New Zealand Wars.
He married Mary Anne Hulbert (née Godso) in Melbourne in 1869. In 1871, the family lived in Auckland. The Hulberts and three children arrived in Lyttelton, the harbour town of Christchurch, in February 1873.
