Perhaps that is another Adam Landells?

However, there seem to be several Douglas/Landells namings in New Zealand after that time - related to Adam Landells / Margaret Douglas sons, James and Edward.
I am not sure whether Adam did at some time move to NZ and if so, whether he married and where lived there. Or is the NZ connection only via his sons James
Douglas Landells and Edward Douglas Landells?

Presbyterian Archives seem to often spell LANDELLS and Dallawell with a single L when other sources are using the double LL

Adam LANDELS is found in and around Balclutha from 1869
Marriage - Clutha Parish 1854-1900                     
LANDELS Adam   full   WILLOCKS Janet Alexander   minor   30/Jun   1869   20/11/02

Four children presumably of this marriage were baptised in Stirling-Inch Clutha Parish from 1876 to 1880  The parish would have been on the north side of the Clutha opposite and towards the mouth from Balclutha and included Inch Clutha a large flat island in the middle of the river below Balclutha

LANDELS       Janet Robson       1878      
LANDELS       John Douglas       1879      
LANDELS       [name blank]             1880   

This Adam LANDELS died in 1887 -  recorded in Papers Past
Clutha Leader   11 Nov 1887   DEATH.         
LANDELS.— At his residence, Wellfield. Balclutha, on the 8th inst.. Adam Landels, late of Bankend, Berwickshire, Scotland ; in the 48th year of his age. Deeply regretted.

Adam's property    Wellfield
appears to have been taken over by an unmarried sister or daughter and sold in 1899
Clutha Leader   7 Apr 1899      Thursday Evening. CLUTHA SALES. Wilson, Mackay & Co., report as follows :— on account of Miss Landels, her property, known as " Wellfield," near Balclutha, Mr Butlin being the purchaser.

[By this time there was at least one other property nearby referred to as Wellfield The property was on-sold by Mrs Butlin when she moved back to Melbourne in a year or so  later]

In 1914 another Adam LANDELS was baptised according to Presbyterian Archives
St Andrews Balclutha Baptisms 1886-1920                     
LANDELS       Adam       1914      

There is no evidence I have seen linking these LANDELS to the Papakura-Tauranga LANDELLS other than their appearance in NZ Presbyterian Archives

Thanks to all. Quite a lot added to my knowledge of the NZ connections.

I haven't found where the Dalliwell / Dallawell connection is within the Landells family. I had assumed it was a surname in England, but no evidence of it so far.
