EDE family: John Ede was born in Sussex, England in 1837. On April 7th April 1861 at Burhham he married Sarah or Sally Keeble born 1840. They lived at 15 Eccles Cottage in Aylseford in 1871. It is not know why the Edes migrated to New Zealand on the Atrato on the 10th Feb 1874. On the 2nd Feb 1875 eight months after their arrival John Ede was killed at work on the railways. The family went through some terrible loss after John died.

In 1874 after 3 of their children had died, they embarked on the "Atrato " in London on the 10th February 1874 with 9 of their remaining children. The ship was damaged or broke down and returned to Plymouth for repairs. She sailed again on the 6th April 1874 to arrive in Lyttleton on the 20th June 1874. As ballast on the Atrato a cottage was carried which belonged to the BINSKIN'S. It was assembled at Geraldine in the South Island for them to live in and was named Eccles Farm after Eccles Cottages where they had lived in Aylesford, Kent. The children that travelled with them were:- *Martha Anne* married Charles William GIMSON in Aylesford, Kent on 13th August 1870. *William Frederick* married Annie Maria VENNER 9th November 1877 in Timaru.

Sarah married Walter Thomas SPURDEN 1881 Timaru. 8 children from this marriage and 1 prior to marriage. Alice married William CARSTON 1st March 1883 at Winchester. 10 children born Joseph traded in the Solomon Islands for many years after leaving NZ and in 1905 he married Unga a native girl [ He was 36 and she was 14 at the time of marriage ]. From this union 2 children were born but in 1909 while Joseph was away from " the Island of Dreams " his wife and 2 children plus several native workers were massacred by natives. In 1910 he married Florence E WHEATLEY and they had 3 children. [ He was 41 she was 16 when they married ]William BINSKIN was my GGF and William Frederick BINSKIN was my GF.Many thanks to my New Zealand connection for much of this information. If you have any enquiries or ties to this family please contact David BINSKIN.
