Alfred’s Life in New Zealand and Marriage to Adela
In the late 1880s, Alfred wrote the New Zealand civil service examination.
On May 21, 1896, Alfred married Adela Winifred McCurdy. She was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire on March 18, 1873. Her parents were John Francis McCurdy (1829-1881) and Elizabeth Martha Driffield (1837-1925).
Alfred was a lawyer in Auckland for several years. Then he and Adela went to Sydney, Australia, where Alfred studied accounting and finance.
Alfred and Adela travelled to Canada in 1906, along with their son, Francis, who was born in Australia.
The Pilkington family lived briefly in San Francisco, California.
In 1906, Alfred became Vancouver City’s accountant.
Alfred first appeared in the Vancouver directories in 1907. He was living at 2733 Westminster Road and working as the city accountant.
From 1907 to 1946, he lived at the following addresses in Vancouver.

Although there was much public debate over Alfred’s principles and methods, he continued as a city employee. In 1933, he became the city’s treasurer and financial adviser.
In 1935, Alfred, Adela and their children were living at 1746 Haro Street in Vancouver.
