Census Westbury, Wiltshire, England:
Mr George Alfred Adlam, J.P., farmer of
Oakura, was not only a New Zealand war medallist, but a veteran who has
seen service in many lands.He was born in Westbury, Wiltshire, in 1842, is
the son of Mr Nathaniel Adlam, a farmer, and was educated in his native
place. Shortly afterwards he leased a farm
adjoining his present property, of about 400 acres of which the better
half is freehold. He has his own creamery and butter factory, and from 60
cows produces about 300 lbs of butter per week. Mr Adlam carried on a
store at Pungarehu from which he supplied the Armed constabulary and
settlers of the surrounding district, buying and shipping butter to Sydney
and Melbourne. In this way he became an expert grader and the settlers
recently sent him with Mr E M Smith, the late M.H.R., as a deputation to
the Government to point out the existing errors in the methods of grading
employed by the professional men. The popularity of Mr Adlam may be
gauged by the public offices he has held and still holds. For eleven years
he was a member of the Taranaki Education Board, for nine years he served
as a county councillor, for seven years he was chairman of the local
school committee, for the past six years he has been a member of the
Taranaki Charitable Aid Board, and in 1895 was made a Justice of the
Peace. In 1869 Mr Adlam was married to the
daughter of Mr John Sefton, of Ulster, Ireland, and of the seventeen
children, 8 sons and 5 daughters are living. (Above Src Ref: The
