    Notes 
    • SURNAME.

      Charles Arthur GEDGE appears to have changed his name to Charles Arthur GEDDIS about 1948. When he married Yvonne TWINING in 1945 he used his birth surname, GEDGE. The couple's first child, Rise Esther Elsie GEDGE died in 1947 aged 11 months and was buried in the Aramoho Cemertey, Wanganui. The 1949 Wanganui Electoral Roll had Charles and Yvonne GEDDIS listed in the Supplementary Roll, indicating they had changed their surname since the previous election.

      The probate file of Charles Arthur GEDDIS contains his will that lists his four children born between 1948 and 1960, all with the surname GEDDIS. It has been assumed that these children all had their birth registered with the surname GEDDIS. The 1978 Waitakere Electoral Roll lists two children, Rene D GEDDIS and Jay Murray GEDDIS living at the same address as their parents. Wayne GEDDIS is mentioned in his fathers will of 1974 as living in Australia and having not communicated with the family for some years.
