Ada Ellen Edmonds Nee Cross Arthur S Wife

edmondsallan - Hello to all - What have I been doing ? I ask myself , 1/2 the day gone . I did the journal on the" CD scam " that is trying to infect our website ,read the news - took the cat for a short work . yes I have a cat that just loves me to take her up the street ( about 5 houses up ) for a walk & Back - no lead . I'm thinking of coming back as a cat . this one is spoilt rotten . Stop your yapty yap-- edmonds allan & get on with the journal .
" Ada Ellen Edmonds " my grandma, who reared me from a baby , was one hell of a woman . By the way - please excuse this slight digretion - which is-- I was going to tell the story on Arthur in parts . When I re-looked at them , they really are seperate stories, so I will not put them as " Part one ( 1 ) etc . My grandma had a cure for everything . I never knew her to fail . I can well remember , in those grand days way back , that food was not as fresh as we get today . Every Friday night we got the same treatment after tea . She would hold my nose , & tip that -~~~ senna tea down my throat , & believe me folks it had the effect she wanted . The other great cure she had was " Iodine " Every skin ailment got a dose . After you jumped around for a good hour , She would say " I love seeing you get better so quickly "
" Arthur Milson Edmonds " was born in 1870 in Auckland , He was the tenth child of " Samuel John Edmonds " Eldest son of our original ancester - " John Samuel Edmonds " By the way readers - on many of official documents ( not all ) he only was known as
" John Edmonds "
" Arthur " having met the love of his life at her parents house , followed " Ada " to Te Aroha in the . Waikato. In those days it was thee town to be in with the crowd , not the sleepy lovely small town of today . " Ada " was a type setter for the " Te Aroha Times " Later on in her life , she became the head type setter in the NZ Herald.
When I was doing her Ancestry , I followed the ' Pedigree ', through the centuries ,plus the DNA, where her original ancestors surname was " Crosse " and back further into 1243 AD were her ancestor as born in Wigan - Lancashire -uk was called " Adam Del Crosse ," whose parents ancestors came via northern France , mid Rhine < Germany - thro' to a border canton in Switzeland, then back to the Hungarian plains . where they where Nomads In this short sentence we have just stated about 4.1/2 years of ancestral research . I found & followed the DNA , the name changed at the beginning of AD from that of the tribal leader . Arthur's wife ancestry is rich around the Lancashire area , She also is a direct relation to the " Del Crosse " Private Houses & estates.well known in the English ancestry circles . I don't suspose she ever knew any of her Wealthy Ancestry and it would not have effected her in any way at all . Their is much to tell about this great woman , including rowing to work & back to her Home , morning & evening ,across the Waitemata Harbour from Greenhithe to Auckland wharves . then walking the extra to the NZ Herald Building - Five ( 5 ) days a week , Hail , rain or sunshine . No mean feat for over 28 years . At the same time she reared Five ( 5 ) children successfully . So amazing was this Lovely simple person , it is recorded in the archives of NZ. " Arthur's wife -- Ada Ellen ( nee cross ) died in 1947 at the age of ( 76 ) from two massive strokes a week apart .When she died, the original " Horton Family " who owned the NZ Herald came & paid their respects . My grandma is buried in the - Waikaraka Cemetery , Onehunga, Auckland . I have all her burial details which I will not release, as I consider them to be very personal. Their are many more stories on Arthur Milsom Edmonds wife & their short life together - However thats another story or two
