For a time after their arrival, 1863 at Timaru, Richard, his wife Elizabeth and their four children were housed in the Immigration Barracks where Richard was Barrack master before settling on his farm at Claremont where he built a stone house on Pelvin's Road.
Richard Pelvin bought land in the Redcliff district in the mid-1870's and was active with other householders in 1881 in setting up the Redcliff school. This closed in 1947 and was a social centre of the community. In 1882 Richard bought an abandoned farm of 440 fenced acres (178 ha) with a house and it was stated "From what we know of this gentleman's energy and success in the district, we need not fear of the said property ever being abandoned again." In the sheep farmer returns Richard Pelvin of Otipua is recorded as having 1879 80 sheep; 1880 228; 1881 430.
The area of Redcliff / Ikawai was never more than a settlement - there was an early hotel at the ferry crossing on the Waitaki river and a blacksmith's shop for some years east of the school. They retired to Timaru where they are bur.
