Joseph Penzer (1833 – 26 September 1905) was an English-born Australian politician.

He was born in Birmingham in 1833, a farmer's son. [1] He arrived in New South Wales around 1854, [2] and settled in Grafton, where he kept a store. He moved to the Dubbo region in 1862, where he was a pastoralist. He was appointed a magistrate in 1864. [1]

On 14 April 1879 he married Jane Rebecca Booth, the sister of Robert Booth, with whom he had two sons, Walter and Robert. [1]

In 1887 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as a Free Trade member for Bogan. He did not re-contest in 1889. [3]

Penzer died at Yarrandale near Dubbo in 1905 (aged 72). [4] [1] [a]

Notes

  1. ^ His obituary in The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate gives his year of birth as 1833, which is consistent with his age as 72, [1] while his parliamentary biography gives his year of birth as 1830, [4] which would make his age at death as 74–75.
