Early life
Weld was born near Bridport, Dorset, England, on 9 May 1823. Bridport is a town in Dorset, England. Located near the Coast at the Western end of Chesil Beach at the confluence of the rivers Dorset ( (or archaically, Dorsetshire) is a county in South West England on the English Channel coast England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom.

The Society of Jesus ( Latin: Societas Iesu, SJ and SI or SJ, SI) is a Catholic religious order Stonyhurst College is an independent, Roman Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition Weld's upbringing was strongly grounded in the Catholic faith. His early years were spent with his parents in France. This article is about the country For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic France topics. Later, he received a good education, studying at Stonyhurst before attending the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, where he studied philosophy, chemistry, languages and law.

In New Zealand, he entered a partnership with his cousin, Charles Clifford, 1st Baronet Clifford, of Flaxbourne. Sir Charles Clifford 1st Baronet ( 1 January 1813 - 27 February 1893) was a New Zealand politician The two established a number of sheep stations around the country, and Weld became relatively prosperous. Weld found a life of agricultural management to be too mundane, however, and soon became active in political concerns. One of his more significant campaigns was to ward against any potential discrimination against Catholics in New Zealand. He later became active in lobbying for representative government in New Zealand. Representative democracy is a form of government founded on the principles of the people's representatives
In 1848, Weld declined an offer by the governor, Sir George Grey, of a seat on a proposed nominee council. The Governor-General of New Zealand (Te Kawana Tianara o Aotearoa is the representative of the Sovereign in right of New Zealand (currently Queen For other men with a similar name see George Grey (disambiguation or George Gray Sir George Grey, KCB ( 14 April In 1852 he visited England, where he published a pamphlet, Hints to Intending Sheep Farmers in New Zealand, which ran into three editions.
Member of Parliament
When the creation of the New Zealand Parliament was announced, Weld stood for election. The Parliament of New Zealand consists of the Queen of New Zealand and the New Zealand House of Representatives and until 1951 the New Zealand Legislative Council He became a member of the 1st Parliament as the representative of Wairau, an electorate in the northeast of the South Island. The 1st New Zealand Parliament was a term of the Parliament of New Zealand. The South Island is the larger of the two major islands of New Zealand, the other being the more populous North Island. The main political division of the day was between "centralists" (favouring a strong central government) and "provincialists" (favouring strong regional governments). On this spectrum, Weld established himself as a moderate centralist, although he tended to oppose the extremes of either side.
Weld was also a member of the brief "cabinet" formed around James FitzGerald. James FitzGerald may refer to James FitzGerald James FitzMaurice FitzGerald James Newbury FitzGerald, American bishop This represented an attempt by Parliament to assume direct responsibility for administering New Zealand. Acting Governor Robert Wynyard managed to block this move, however, and Weld's role as a "minister" came to an end. The Governor-General of New Zealand (Te Kawana Tianara o Aotearoa is the representative of the Sovereign in right of New Zealand (currently Queen Robert Henry Wynyard ( 24 December 1802 - 6 January 1864) was a New Zealand colonial administrator Lieutenant Governor Despite the failure of the FitzGerald "cabinet", Weld was pleased that Catholics were able to participate fully in politics. The fact that Charles Clifford, also a Catholic, had become Speaker was also encouraging to him. Sir Charles Clifford 1st Baronet ( 1 January 1813 - 27 February 1893) was a New Zealand politician In New Zealand the Speaker of the House of Representatives is the individual who chairs the country's legislative body the New Zealand House of Representatives
Weld resigned from Parliament a short while before the end of its first term, returning to England for a brief time. When he returned, he was elected to the 2nd Parliament, again representing Wairau. The 2nd New Zealand Parliament was a term of the Parliament of New Zealand. He briefly returned to England again to marry a distant cousin, Filumena Mary Anne Lisle Phillipps, with whom he would have thirteen children.
Cabinet minister
In 1860, Weld was invited to join Edward Stafford's government, taking over responsibility for Native Affairs from William Richmond. Edward Stafford may refer to Edward Stafford 3rd Duke of Buckingham (1478&ndash1521 brother of Henry VIII's mistress Anne Stafford executed for treason Christopher William Richmond (1821 - 1895 generally called William Richmond, was a 19th century New Zealand politician In this role, Weld had to contend with conflicts such as the First Taranaki War. The First Taranaki War was an armed conflict over land ownership and Sovereignty that took place between Māori and the New Zealand Government in the Although Weld disliked the prospect of war, and believed that Governor George Grey had mishandled the situation, he believed strongly in the need to assert the power of the government, describing it as a "painful duty". For other men with a similar name see George Grey (disambiguation or George Gray Sir George Grey, KCB ( 14 April Weld lost his ministerial position when the Stafford administration was defeated.
In 1864 (by which time Weld was representing Cheviot, formed from the southern half of his old Wairau seat), the government of Frederick Whitaker resigned due to disputes with the Governor. Sir Frederick Whitaker, KCMG (1812 - 1891 was an English-born New Zealand politician who served twice as Premier of New Zealand and six times as The point in question was who should bear responsibility for funding British troops stationed in New Zealand. Weld, believing that it was British ineptitude that caused conflict with the Māori in the first place, strongly objected to Grey's demands that Parliament should fund the troops. Weld instead believed that British troops should be removed from New Zealand altogether, and be replaced by local forces.
Premier of New Zealand
As Premier, Weld met with mixed success. The in 1865 the capital was indeed moved to Wellington, and his proposals for Māori relations were adopted. These two things generated considerable bitterness, however — Aucklanders were angry about the change of capital, and Māori were angry about the confiscation of over a million acres (4,000 km²) of land in the Waikato area. Weld's other success, the withdrawal of British troops from New Zealand, was also controversial, and generated considerable hostility from the Governor. In addition, the government's financial situation was precarious. A little less than a year after taking office, Weld's government resigned.
Colonial governorships
Weld, suffering from poor health and stress, retired from politics in 1866, and returned to England the following year. However his health improved, and he began working again. In 1869 he published Notes on New Zealand Affairs, and in March of the same year he began a career as a British colonial governor with an appointment to the post of governor of Western Australia. The Governor of Western Australia is the representative in Western Australia of Australia 's Monarch Queen Elizabeth II.
Governor of Western Australia
Weld arrived in Western Australia in September, 1869. Western Australia is a state occupying the entire western third of the Australian continent. He immediately embarked on a series of tours of the state, which saw travel about 1,200 miles (1,900 km) on horseback in his first six months in office. Impressed by the state's isolation, he urged the establishment of telegraph lines and improvements to transportation. In March, 1870, he sent John Forrest to explore and survey a possible route for a telegraph line between Albany and Adelaide. Sir John Forrest GCMG (22 August 1847 – 2 September 1918 was an Australian explorer the first Premier of Western Australia and a cabinet minister in Australia Albany ( is located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, situated around a port on the southern coast Adelaide is the capital and most populous city of the Australian state of South Australia, and is the fifth largest city in Australia with a This was later built, and by 1874, the state had more than 900 miles (1400 km) of operational telegraph line.

A steamboat or steamship, sometimes called a steamer, is a ship in which the primary method of propulsion is steam power, typically driving a Propeller "Railroad" and "Railway" both redirect here For other uses see Railroad (disambiguation.
Weld saw his appointment to the governorship as a mandate to institute similar constitutional changes to that achieved in New Zealand. With the enthusiastic support of his Colonial Secretary Frederick Barlee, he set about promoting representative government. The Colonial Secretary of Western Australia was one of the most important and powerful public offices in Western Australia, in the time when Western Australia was a British Sir Frederick Palgrave Barlee, KCMG ( 6 February 1827 &ndash 8 August 1884) was Colonial Secretary of Western Australia Representative democracy is a form of government founded on the principles of the people's representatives At the first opportunity, Weld introduced a Bill which provided for the election of 12 Members of the Legislative Council, to sit with six official and nominee members. Following are lists of members of the Western Australian Legislative Council: Prior to responsible government 1832–1870 The Legislative Council, or upper house is one of the two chambers of parliament in the Australian state of Western Australia.

Although Weld did not think that Western Australia was ready for responsible government, he accepted the situation and passed on the request to the Colonial Office in London. The Secretary of State for the Colonies or Colonial Secretary was the British Cabinet official in charge of managing the various British Colonies. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. The Colonial Office were strongly against granting responsible government, and were critical of Weld for allowing the situation to arise. In 1874, Weld went on leave to New Zealand to look after his partnership affairs. On this return, he was transferred to the post of Governor of Tasmania, and the issue of responsible government was dropped until 1890. The Governor of Tasmania is the representative in the Australian state of Tasmania of Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia.
Other colonial governorships
Weld was Governor of Tasmania from 1875 to 1880. He found the role much less taxing than in Western Australia, as Tasmania already had responsible government and his main duty was to preside at meetings of the Executive Council. From 1880 to 1887, he was Governor of the Straits Settlements, consisting of Malacca, Penang, and Singapore. The Governor of the Straits Settlements was appointed by the British East India Company until 1867 when the Straits Settlements became a crown colony Penang (pəˈnæŋ Malay: Pulau Pinang) is a state in Malaysia, located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia Singapore Louch (1966) writes of Weld's seven years in Singapore: "It was there with his wealth of experience that he found the fullest scope for his talents as a colonial administrator, and where he is best remembered now. " He was created CMG (1875), KCMG (1880) and GCMG (1885).

" but "labour for public works and roads and to develop other industries and sources of revenue besides tin-mining," he lamented, "is the great want". he also reported that:
"Water supply for Taiping from the hill (Maxwell Hill), the roads to Krian, which will connect Taiping town centre with Province Wellesley, and a rail and tramway from Taiping to the port (Port Weld, which was named after him) are amongst the next most necessary works to be undertaken.

The construction of the Taiping - Port Weld railway was the beginning of a major transformation altering radically the landscape of the Malay Peninsula. It also brought the first influx of Indians (mainly Tamils) and Ceylonese to Perak. Perak is one of the 13 states of Malaysia. It is the second largest state in Peninsular Malaysia bordering Kedah and Yala Province of Sir Frederick Weld was in Taiping again in 1883 where he "inspected everything". He spent time going down the Port Weld railway line, then in the course of construction, "on a truck behind the Engine". He also put into effect plans to build a telegraph line along the road linking Taiping with Province Wellesley. It was nearing completion after which a railway along the same route would be constructed.
Later life
Weld finally retired from political life in 1887, although he remained active in other fields of work. In 1891, visiting the Straits Settlements once again, he contracted a serious illness, and returned to England. The Straits Settlements were a collection of territories of the British East India Company in Southeast Asia, which were given collective administration in 1826 He died in Chideock on July 20, 1891.
