Well that confirms he was still in Sydney March 1892.

There should be a passenger record of Agnes returning to NZ with an infant before her divorce in 1894 ???

There are a few other mentions of "A D WELLS" on trove, possibly your man.

In relation to a Druids Picnic in 1893:

Looking at the Sydney Sands Directory, there are entries for A D WELLS in 1892 at 8 Elizabeth St, Paddington ; and in 1893 both at the Elizabeth St address and at Old South Head Rd, Waverley. I can't see any entries after this time.

There is also an item on trove for the A D WELLS of Elizabeth St - helping at an accident site in 1891.

These addresses, and the Edgecliffe Rd one are all in the same general area of Sydney.
