He was born in Newry, County Down, Ireland, the son of the son of draper William Kirkpatrick and Rebecca Montgomery Marshall. His father died in October 1854.[2] He went to school in Newry. Kirkpatrick spent five years with a wholesale food merchant learning the ropes, after graduating from Walton College, in Liverpool, England. For some years, he emigrated to the U. S., working for tea wholesalers in both Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Kirkpatrick's entree to success came in 1876 with his removal to California, where he worked in two large fruit canneries in San Francisco, California.[1] Kirkpatrick likely arrived in New Zealand in 1878, and through 1879, he worked as a salesperson for merchants and commission agents Renshaw, Denniston and Co., in Dunedin.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{DNZB|Smith|Dawn M.|2k11|Samuel Kirkpatrick|25 July 2018}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kirkpatrick, Samuel}}{{NewZealand-business-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |title=Deaths |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000038/18541027/016/0002 |work=Belfast News-Letter |date=27 October 1854 |page=2 |subscription=yes |quote=On October 17, at his residence, Hill Street, Newry, Mr. William Kirkpatrick, draper.}} 6 : 1850s births|1925 deaths|New Zealand businesspeople|People from Newry|Irish emigrants to New Zealand|Nelson City Councillors |
