Boulton Merlin Molineaux was one of the founding members of the Victoria Bowling Club.
He was an Englishman by birth, who came to the colonies early in his life and was educated in Sydney. He joined the Bank of New South Wales in Australia, then came to New Zealand to be manager of the Wellington Branch in 1891. In 1894 he was offered the position of Government Auditor to the Bank of New Zealand, but declined it because he didn’t want to leave the BNSW.
