Canterbury pilgrim. Early settlers in the district, cutting wood for local supply at 'Woodside', west Oxford NZ. UK married at 29 years in March 1874, assisted emigrant in July with wife Martha aged 22, arriving at Hawkes Bay NZ on the Bebington in November as a Farm Labourer. Made a b-line for the southern town named after their home district and began own forest extractive business: joined 'Woodstock' block site work where their marriage locale history was in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, where more Proffitts resided. [Was he the Joseph Proffitt born 1840 or the John Proffitt noted early 1846, both in Wolverhampton, a refugee brother swapping names? Wolves-Oxford-London travel route believable. Birth tracing incomplete. - now false]
