Biography
John Waterhouse migrated from England to Queensland.
John Edward Waterhouse was born in 1867 in Hightown, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. He was the fourth child and eldest son of William and Charlotte Waterhouse. [1]

John was barely three years old when his family migrated to Queensland (Australia) in 1870; where his father quickly became an in-demand wool-classer in the growing wool industry. The Waterhouses - father, mother, five children - voyaged on the Flying Cloud; claimed to be the fastest and finest clipper made.[2][3] The speedy clipper should not be confused with the brig of the same name that sank off South Australia in April 1870.
John became a railway platelayer. [4]
John married Rose Thwaite in 1891 in Brisbane, Queensland. [5] They had two daughters: Helen and Violet. After John's father passed away in 1898, he and Rose moved to Tasmania, where they established their home in Queenstown. They had two daughters.
John passed away in Queenstown in 1947. He is buried in Queenstown Cemetery. [6]
