INGLES, HENRY ANTHONY (1840-92) was born in London, the son of David Ingles, of Kincaid, Stirling. Educated at Edinburgh Academy and Sandhurst, he received his ensigncy in the 78th Highlanders (1856) and sold out in 1861 as a lieutenant. He came to Nelson by the Ravenscraig (1862), and with a brother purchased the Pukipuki run, Marlborough (extending from the Iron Gate to the Kowhai river), which they named Kincaid. They had a stern struggle with scab and rabbits.

Ingles was a justice of the peace and a member of the road board. He represented Clarence in the Marlborough Provincial Council from 1868 until the abolition, and was a member of the executive in 1870 and again from 1874 until the end of the period. He was M.H.R. for Cheviot (1871-75). As a friend and confidant of Stafford (q.v.) Ingles suggested to Vogel bringing down the abolition resolutions on 13 Aug 1874. He was afterwards on the county council. He married (1875) Emily Ann, daughter of Walter Glas Chieve (Tasmania). He died on 21 Mar 1892.
