Notes |
ADOPTIONEdward Charles WATERREUS parents were Martinus (Martin) Anthony WATERREUS and Ellen REYNOLDS. Martin abandoned his family in Masterton about 1894, and was arrested for wife desertion, serving 3 weeks hard labour in New Plymouth Prison and being required to pay his wife ten shillings a week. In September 1895 Martin was sentenced to three months hard labour for taking cloth from a shop in Stratford. Martin died in prison on 18 October 1895.
When Edward's parents marriage ended the family was split. The two eldest children (William George and Annie) went to Ellen's family in Southland. Edward Charles [Teddy] WATERREUS and his older brother Leonard Martin WATERREUS were taken away. Edward was adopted by Martin and Esther GRACE [nee BEAZLEY] of Hokianga, Northland on 11th March 1895. On adoption, Edward's name was changed to Pierce GRACE. Edward's mother remarried in 1921 to Charles NORDELL, b 1876 in Germany.
