He lived in Howick before relocating to Alexandra (now Pirongia) and joining the 2nd Waikato Militia during the New Zealand Wars. He was a foundation member of the Alexandra Racing Club and ran a carrying business between Pirongia and the Te Awamutu Railway Station for 50 years, finally retiring at the age of 82. Edward was my third great uncle.” Read the full biography by Debbie McCauley at this link: https://debbiemccauleyauthor.wordpress.com/biographies-by-debbie-mccauley/edward-watts-garmonsway-1840-1935
