Welham, Alfred Robert

Welham, Alfred Robert, Auctioneer, Aratapu. Mr. Welham was born in London in 1858, and educated at St. Paul's School. He was for three years on the London Stock Exchange and in 1882 came to New Zealand in the ship “Akaroa,” landing in Dunedin, where he spent some five years, and then removed to Christchurch. In 1889 he moved north and established himself as an auctioneer at Te Kopuru, holding stock sales monthly and produce sales fortnightly. He takes a keen interest in local affairs, and is also fond of cycling. He has introduced a number of Rambler bicycles in the district, being agent for those machines. Mr. Welham is very fond of music, and was for some time leader of the orchestral society.
