The son of Robert Slade, he was born in Poole, Dorset. He began work at a young age with John Slade & Co.,[1] a firm established by his great uncle, John Slade. By 1842, he was manager for the firm's operations in Twillingate.[2] Slade was elected to the Newfoundland House of Assembly at the age of 23, the youngest person ever elected to that assembly.[1]

He died in Poole at the age of 28.[1]
