Fleming was born on the 15 Nov 1842 at Tingwall, Shetland, Scotland. He was the second-born son to Fleming and Elizabeth and after finishing school, he became a Draper’s Assistant in Lerwick. Working in retail would be his thing for the remainder of his working life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 1861, he departed Lerwick and his family, and moved to Dunedin, New Zealand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 24 Jul 1865 at Hampden, Waitaki, he married Elizabeth Walker Familton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He and his brother James, acted as agents on behalf of the North Otago Times newspaper around this time. He was a manager at a clothing store on the Octagon in Dunedin for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 1893, the Electoral Roll shows his wife registered in Dunedin, while Fleming is registered both in Wellington and Dunedin. It was at this time that they moved to Wellington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleming carried on his business until retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
