| 257 |  | Edward Brandon From Rev. Brian Brandon Ted was the oldest of the Brandon children, born on the 28th of June 1866, at Lower Clapton. He was one member of the family who seemed to be cut off, or who cut himself off from the rest of the family, and who the family knew the least about. Apparently, he trained as a boy in England in a stained glass factory and was good at the work. Ted said that other members of the family wanted him to stay in England and to adopt him, but his mother wouldn't allow it. He would have been 15 years old when the family came out to NZ. He worked for many years in Murray's Foundry, Wanganui, engineers and boat builders . He had a strong association with the Maori people on the Wanganui river. In 1902 he married Mutu Ngamoenga. There were no children of the marriage, and she died at some stage. Then in 1918 he remarried to Sarah Te Mana. They had one child, Daniel. After they were married, Rua, the father of Sarah made Ted leave. He spoke fluent Maori, and could interpret from Maori to English or vice versa without hesitation. Ted had a very kind nature, but he didn't look after himself or his home very well. In the early 1950's when money from the English estate of Aunts Alice, Minnie and sister, Edith was left to various members of the family, Ted bought a house at Putiki. There Lila Brandon looked after him for a short while, but she found it a hopeless situation. In his old age, a Maori family promised him a home where they would look after him, but it was not long before he was placed in a home in Palmerston North. He died there on the 2nd of September, 1956, aged 90 from pneumonia. |

| 258 | | Edward Hawley Wooster on a Crew List? The following transcript from the CLIP website gives an Edward Wooster as being present on the Premier: Name: EDWARD WOOSTER Age: 17 Implies that Edward Wooster's date of birth was ca. 1851 Birthplace: LONDON Capacity: BOY Previous ship: NONE This is probably Edward Wooster's first ship. Ship: PREMIER Her official number (ON): 3930 Port of registry: BEAUMARIS His father was a shipwright, his brother Henry F W2 sailed to NSW as crew, as did George William W and Charles the other brother sailed as crew to NZ. It would seem very likely that the above record is Edward Hawley Wooster. We understand that Edward spent some time in America with his uncle Jim, before returning to England. |

I live on Saffron-hill. On the 17th of May I met the prisoner in Farringdon-street—I treated him—I had a sovereign and a half and a half-crown, in a silk handkerchief—I told him I should go and buy a hat, he said he had one to dispose of—I said, "Fetch it;" he did so, and it was split across the top—I said I did not like it—he asked 1s. for it—I gave him 8d. for it—I took a half-crown out of the handkerchief, and gave it to him, and said, "Go, and get change for this, and bring it back"—he did so—the rest of the money was then in the handkerchief, and I put it and the rest of the money into my trowsers-pocket—he accompanied me to the Nottingham Arms beer-shop, and treated me there—I was rather the worse for liquor—I knew what I was doing when I gave him the half-crown—I had the money when I went to the Nottingham Arms—after that I went home and missed my handkerchief from my pocket—I have never seen it since. Prisoner. Q. Did you not give 10d. for the hat? A. No—I put the change of the half-crown into my coat-pocket—there was no other man in my company—I did not come into the Nottingham Arms with my trowsers undone, and tell you to button them up. FRANCIS GWILLIN . I live at Bishop's Head-court. I was at the Nottingham Arms when the prosecutor and prisoner came there—they had four or five pints of ale—the prosecutor was very drunk indeed—the prisoner appeared to have been drinking, but was comparatively sober—the prosecutor went out and came back—the prisoner said, "Don't be a beast; let me button up your breeches," and the prosecutor assented to it—I saw the prisoner place his hand at the waistband of the prosecutor's trowsers, and the other hand under, as if working something out—he then sat down on the seat, and I saw the prisoner put his hand round the prosecutor—Mr. Hopkins made a noise on the table for me to notice it—the prisoner then went out, and then Mr. Hopkins said something to me. Prisoner. Q. You saw me take it out of the prosecutor's right pocket? A. No—I saw you take nothing out—I never said it was a red handkerchief. ROWLAND HOPKINS . I was at the Nottingham Arms. Gwillin called my attention to the prisoner—I saw the prisoner with a red silk handkerchief in his left hand—I saw him button the prosecutor's trowsers up—I made a noise with my pipe on the table to make my friend notice it—the prisoner sat a very short time, and went away—the prosecutor left a little after—he had been drinking, but was capable of taking care of himself—the prisoner was sober—the prosecutor called the prisoner Bill—I did not tell the prosecutor—he stayed about ten minutes after. EDWARD WILLIAM WORSTER . I am barman at the Red Lion, Strand. About half-past twelve o'clock on the Friday night, the prisoner came and remained half an hour or three quarters, treating a number of persons—he spent four or five shillings—shortly after, he asked me to mind 18s. for him—he came the next day for 12s. which he had, and the remainder of the money he was going to renew his license with—he was in the habit of minding cabs for cabmen.. THOMAS SMITH (City police-constable, No. 270.) I took the prisoner—I found a new pair of boots on him, and a shirt—he had bad a shirt washed, and on the following Monday he said he gave 1s. for it. Prisoner. Q. Did I not tell you to go to Leather-lane, and Blackman-street? A. No, you said Fetter-lane—you said you bought the boots in Blackman-street, and there was no shoemaker's shop there. Prisoner's Defence. The prosecutor asked me to have a drop of beer; I thanked him; we drank that beer, and a friend of his was sitting beside him, who said, "My friend is in want of a hat." I said I had an old one; I got it, and showed it him; 1 asked 1s. for it; he offered 10d.; I said, "I will spend the odd 2d., and you give me 8d. for it;" he gave me a half-crown; then we had some more gin and beer; at half-past ten o'clock we went to the Nottingham Arms, and there were several persons whom he asked to drink; he went out and came in again; I said, "You might have buttoned your trowsers;" he said, "Button them for me;" I did, and we had a glass or two more of ale; I then went out, down the Strand, and having this money saved up, unknown to any one, I redeemed a few things, and left the 18s. in the landlord's hand; I went the next day to Blackman-street, and bought the boots for 3s. 6d.; I then went to Leather-lane, and gave 1s. to Mrs. Wright to mend and wash my shirt.

| 277 | | Fred Brandon From Rev. Brian Brandon Fred was born on the 6th of November, 1869 at Plaistow, Essex, the 4th child of Richard and Lucy Brandon. He never married. Fred was a carpenter with Herbert in Wanganui. He came up with Herbert to Hauturu and assisted him on the farm, staying there for the rest of his life. Because he never married, he continued to live with Herbert and Gertrude, and helped out with all the building and farm work. He wasn't always easy to look after, coming in for meals just when he was ready, but she just put up with the difficulty, and gave him his meals when he wanted them. Because he had some funny ways, he wouldn't have been able to hold down a job of his own. He read a lot, and was particularly interested in reading about animals. Then he would try to converse with people about this interest, even if it wasn't really relevant to them. He was very gentle and would never say a thing against anyone. He was a quiet person, physically very strong and well built. He would sometimes carry big logs on his shoulders for firewood - instead of waiting for a horse. On one occasion when they were fencing 2 1/2 miles up the road, he carried 2 coils of wire to the site, each weighing 1cwt. After Herbert's and Gertrude's deaths, he remained on the farm with Aleck. He died in the Te Kuiti Hospital on the 3rd of July1964 from pneumonia, aged 94. |

| 289 | | Grace Brandon and Dr John Ewart From Rev. Brian Brandon Grace was born on the 12th of August. 1867 at Lower Clapton, the second child of Richard and Lucy Brandon. She was fourteen years old when she came to New Zealand. Although her brothers used to speak very highly of her, she did not travel as much as the other members of the family, and she died before any of her grandchildren were old enough to remember her, and so not as much is known of her. When she was a teenager in Wanganui she became sick with Tetanus. With no antibiotic in those days, she was so ill, the doctor said there was only one thing left and that was to pray over her. He knelt beside the bed and prayed for her and she recovered. She was never very strong after this illness. She was small and slight in stature. She trained as a nurse in Wellington Hospital, and was among the first group of nurses to graduate from a new 4 months course in 1988/89 that had been introduced by the Superintendent, Dr Truby King. It was not until 1901 that 3yr training for nurses began. She was married in 1889 to Doctor John , an outstanding surgeon and superintendent of the Wellington Public Hospital. from 1889 to 1909. They had four children, Lucy, Edith (Daisy), Ian and David, who died as an infant. Ian followed in the footsteps of his parents and became a doctor. She had a number of miscarriages. The family lived in the Superintendent's house in the grounds of the hospital before moving to Willis Street. Grace died from chronic gastritis and colitis on the 7th of September 1923, aged 56. Her husband, John, lived until 1939. |

This son married a Hannah COOK. (Hannah Cook 1722-1754, daughter of Samuel & Hannah Lewis Cook).

Hannah Wooster Cooke Beach Bull died Feb 9, 1770 in Hartford, CT. ---------------- The confusion appears to stem from the fact that this Hannah's 2nd husband Elnathan Beach had a son of the same name (by his first wife Abigail Ufford). This son married a Hannah COOK. (Hannah Cook 1722-1754, daughter of Samuel & Hannah Lewis Cook). The fact that Hannah Wooster's first husband was named COOKE has caused most sources to confuse the two. (Information from contributor L. Finley) |
