Alfred George Fell (12 August 1848 – 6 February 1917) was a New Zealand businessman who served as the sixth mayor of Blenheim.
Fell was born in Nelson in 1848. Alfred Fell (1817–1871), an early settler in Nelson, was his father.[1] Charles, Arthur, and Walter Fell were brothers. The Fell family left for England in January 1859 to provide good education for their by then seven children.[2] George Fell was ten when he left New Zealand. He was one of three sons who returned to New Zealand permanently (the others were Charles and Walter).[2][3]
George Fell returned to New Zealand in 1871 together with his brother Henry, and they joined the Blenheim auctioneer Henry Dodson[4] in a business partnership.[5] Soon after his arrival, he was elected as one of the wardens of the Anglican Church of the Nativity.[6] Henry Fell soon returned to England and became a minister of the Church.[2] George Fell stood for election as mayor of Blenheim in December 1876 and was successful over Frederick John Litchfield.[7][8]
Fell married Alice Budge, daughter of surveyor William Budge, on 18 January 1873 at the Church of the Nativity in Blenheim.[9] He was in business in Blenheim for many years and then sold his company to Levin and Co. He then ran a malthouse in Picton.[1] In November 1886, Fell was the only candidate for mayor of Picton and declared elected unopposed,[10] which was the start of unopposed returns for him in 1887,[11] 1888,[12] 1889, and 1890.[13]
Fell died in Hobson Street, Wellington, on 6 February 1917,[14] and was buried in Karori Cemetery.[15]
