Inaccurate information edit

The article claims that:

King was born in 1858, and
He was a member of the 1st New Zealand Parliament

That's obviously not correct, as the first Parliament was elected in 1853. I'll prune the relevant content from the article. Schwede 66 02:25, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Having looked through the article, I think I understand what happened:

It was set up as a stub for the Thomas King who was a member of the first Parliament, and
Biographical details were added to the article that must belong to a different Thomas King.

I'll see what we can do about this. Schwede 66 03:36, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
