Mr. Charles William Chilman

Mr. Charles William Chilman, Manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Te Aro Branch, was born on the 30th of November, 1852, at Brompton, England. He received his education principally at the Merchant Taylor's School, London, and at private schools in Taranaki, where his parents settled in 1864, the family having arrived shortly before in Auckland, per ship “Seimitar.” Mr. Chilman was apprenticed to the printing business at the office of Mr. Weston, of the Taranaki Herald, and was subsequently in the Telegraph Office for about two years in various parts of the Colony. He then followed farming pursuits for some time, eventually settling in Wellington in 1876. Mr. Chilman joined the Bank of New Zealand in May, 1878. He has since successfully filled the positions of teller, accountant, and relieving officer. In 1890 he was promoted to the managership of the Te Aro branch of the Bank. Mr. Chilman was married early in 1886 to the third daughter of Mr. Edwin Davy, of Auckland, surveyor, and has one son and ten daughters.
