The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Tremain, John

Tremain, John, Biscuit Baker, 54 Wellesley Street, Auckland. Mr. Tremain was born in Cornwall, England, in 1843, and at the early age of five left with his parents for Victoria. He was educated in Geelong, where he was subsequently apprenticed to Mr. McCallum, and seven years later he commenced business on his own account, as a confectioner and caterer. Mr. Tremain came to New Zealand in 1873 in the s.s. “Hero,” and was in business for four years in the City Market, Auckland. He afterwards removed to his present three-storey building in Wellesley Street, where, with improved machinery and close personal attention to business, he has been successful in working up a good connection. As an Oddfellow, Mr. Tremain is a member of the Manchester Unity, and he takes an active interest in temperance matters. He is a member of the Wesleyan Church, and in his younger days, in Victoria, was a Sunday school teacher.
