==Early life==
Ollivier was born in 1812 on the Isle of Wight in England. His parents were Claude Nicholas Ollivier (c.1780–c.1855)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://users.iconz.co.nz/kimo/family_tree/d0001/g0000074.htm#I425 )〕 and Ann Wilby (c.1782–c.1820).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://users.iconz.co.nz/kimo/family_tree/d0001/g0000074.htm#I426 )〕 Ollivier was educated in France. He worked as a publisher in London for about 20 years. The most popular work that he published was ''Eothen; or Traces of travel brought home from the East'' by Alexander William Kinglake.
He married Elizabeth Morton in 1839.〔 They had a large family, with 10 children born before they emigrated, and one more son born in Christchurch.〔 Their 8th son, Arthur Morton, was born in 1851 and achieved some prominence as a cricketer, mountaineer and businessman. The family came to New Zealand on the ''John Taylor''; the ship left London on 10 July 1853 and arrived in Lyttelton on 18 October. He took up farming next to what is now known as Halswell Road, opposite the suburb of Aidanfield. After a few years, he moved into town and built a house on Ferry Road, where he lived for the rest of his life.〔
In Christchurch, he established himself as an auctioneer with premises in High Street.〔 He also worked as an accountant and became known as a humorist.
