John Charles Wiseman in 1907 came from Mamaku to Cambridge with £1 in his pocket and worked on farms around the Fencourt area. He bought 3 acres 18 perches on a fern track where he built a one room 'house' for himself. This he extended after he married Ivy Simpson at 'Armidale Farm' Fencourt on 5 October 1910 and had six children - Thomas Arthur, Charles Francis, Alfred Victor, Stanley Raymond, James Laurence and Colin Edward. 

He continued to work on farms and gradually built his dairy farm from these few acres to 74 acres. He purchased some of this land from Mr Daveys.

One son Arthur bought 95 acres across the road from Mr G Scott, which was passed to Russell - the next generation. Colin and Ray continued on the main farm and later Ray bought the adjoining farm at the end of the road. This meant that Wisemans owned both sides of the road from Victoria Road to the railway at Bruntwood. Grandson Bruce bought the farm from his father, Colin Wiseman
