A'Deane's father, also called John A'Deane, founded the homestead "Ashcott", near Takapau, Hawke's Bay, and served on the Hawke's Bay Provincial Council, including several years as speaker.[2] John A'Deane junior was born at Ashcott, and educated in England at Haileybury College and Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a BA in 1886.[3] He married Margaret Maud Robertson in Christchurch in September 1899.[4] He died suddenly at home at Ashcott in March 1924 while talking on the telephone. Aged 58, he was survived by his wife and their two daughters.[5]

A'Deane played in three first-class matches, scoring 33 runs with a highest score of 17, and held two catches. He took three wickets with a best innings return of two for 31.[6]
