Alfred Pechey
Alfred John Pechey (1840 – 5 June 1882) was an English-born Australian politician.
He was born at Soham in Cambridgeshire to the Reverend William Pechey, a Baptist minister, and Sarah Rotton. He migrated to Australia around 1865 and worked as a surveyor near Bathurst. On 12 April 1865 he married Anthonina Jane Rotton, the daughter of Henry Rotton.[1]
In 1882 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for East Macquarie at the January by-election,[2] but he died at Bathurst four months later,[3][4] without taking his seat.[5]
