His parents and other family members (his father's brother, Charles Hursthouse, and a cousin, Thomas Newsham, and their families) came to New Zealand on the Thomas Sparks; they arrived in Wellington in early 1843.[3][4] John Hursthouse and family proceeded to New Plymouth, but the outbreak of the First Taranaki War saw the family move to Nelson. Richmond Hursthouse's education was restricted to one year at Nelson's Bishop's School.[2] In 1873, he married Mary Fearon, the daughter of Edward Fearon. She died in September 1901.[2] ActivitiesAged 19, he helped with the survey of Westport. Afterwards, he returned to New Plymouth and was in the militia. He participated in various gold rushes, including Thames, Gulgong in New South Wales, and Coromandel.[2] Political career{{NZ parlbox header|nolist=true|align=left}}{{NZ parlbox|start = 1876 |end = 1879 |term = 6th |electorate = {{NZ electorate link|Motueka}} |party = Independent politician }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1879}} |end = 1881 |term = 7th |electorate = Motueka |party = Independent politician }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1881}} |end = 1884 |term = 8th |electorate = Motueka |party = Independent politician }}{{NZ parlbox |start = {{NZ election link year|1884}} |end = 1887 |term = 9th |electorate = Motueka |party = Independent politician }}{{NZ parlbox footer}} Hursthouse represented the Motueka electorate from 1876 to 1887.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=207}} In 1884, he held the portfolio of Minister for Lands and Immigration during the brief fourth Atkinson Ministry.{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=70}}[1] For many years, he was a member of the Nelson Land Board and of the Nelson Education Board.[1] He stood for Waimea-Picton in 1890,[5] Motueka in 1896, and for the City of Nelson electorate in 1893[6] and 1899,[7] and came second each time.
