Biography

Rose Amelia Godfrey was born on 4 December 1863 at Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, the daughter of John Horton Godfrey and Anna Rogers. Her date of birth was obtained from the back of a photograph on which she wrote "85 yrs Dec 4th 1948".

Her father died in 1867 when Rose was only three years of age.

In both the 1871 and 1881 censuses Rose was living with her maternal uncle Richard Rogers at Arden Grove, Oldbury, Worcestershire. Her grandmother Susannah Rogers also lived there. Rose was aged 7 and 17 in the respective censuses.

Rose Amelia Godfrey married David Gadd on 9 August 1885 at the Church of Holy Trinity in the Parish of Langley, Worcestershire. Their marriage certificate recorded David was a bachelor aged 22 and an oliversmith. His father was named as Job Gadd, a rivet maker. Rose was a spinster aged 21. Her father was named as John Horton Godfrey, a solicitor's clerk. At the time of their marriage David was living at Blackheath and Rose at Arden Grove, Langley. Their witnesses were John Horton Godfrey, Rose's half brother, and Mary Adelaide Godfrey, his daughter.

This couple are believed to have had 6 children named Richard Gadd, born 1886 in England, Richard Gadd born 5 April 1887 in Philadelphia, USA, May Gadd born 1890 in Philadelphia, USA, Edith Gadd born 3 October 1893 in England, Minnie Gadd born on 10 April 1901 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia and Elsie Gadd born on 19 October 1904 at St. Asaph Street, Christchurch, New Zealand. [Birth dates for Edith and Minnie are from Christchurch East School registers and Elsie's from a copy of her birth certificate.]

Eldest son Richard died, date unknown but pre April 1887, and their second son was given this name as well.

New York Immigration records confirm the family arrived in New York on 18 October 1886, aboard the Celtic, having left England from Liverpool. David was aged 23 and a labourer, Rose aged 22 and Richard aged 1.

By the time of the British 1891 census this family was back in England and living at Causeway Rd, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire. David, aged 28, was an oliver smith, Rose was aged 27, and children Richard and Mary [sic] were aged 4 and 1 respectively. [RG12/2280 37 Pg 14]

In the 1896 Kelly’s Directory of Staffordshire David was listed at Maltmill Lane, Halesowen and employed as a brassfounder's iron worker.

On 14 December 1899 the family left from London, England on the Duke of Portland for Brisbane, Australia. They arrived on 7 February 1900 and settled in Ipswich, Queensland. The ship’s manifest included David aged 35, a farm labourer, Rose aged 35, May aged 10, Edith aged 6 and on a separate page Richard, a school boy aged 12.

Then in 1903 the family moved on to New Zealand.

David's occupation was stated as an oliversmith at the time of Elsie's birth the following year.

The School Registers for Christchurch East School record -

Edith, born 3 Oct 1893, had previously attended a school in Ipswich. The name and address of her parent or guardian was shown as David Gadd, 50 St. Asaph St, Christchurch. Edith’s date of admission was 1 Feb 1904 and she left on 3 July 1907, her destination simply stated as home.

Minnie, born 10 April 1901, had not attended any other school. The name and address of her parent or guardian was shown as David Gadd, Madras St, Christchurch. Minnie started school on 21 May 1906 and left on 22 Dec 1914.

Elsie, born 19 Oct 1904, had not attended any other school. The name and address of her parent or guardian was shown as David Gadd, 307 Madras St and later as D. Gadd, 403 Madras St, Christchurch. Elsie first started school on 4 Feb 1910, enrolled in the Infants Register, and left on 23 Dec 1913. She was then was enrolled in the normal register on 9 Feb 1915 and left on 1 Dec 1916, her destination stated as home (ill).

Rose Edith Gadd, born 27 March 1902, the daughter of David's brother Herbert Gadd, spent some time living with this family. She, too, attended Christchurch East School, having previously attended a school in Auckland. She was enrolled on 31 Jan 1913 and left on 22 Dec 1914, returning to Auckland.

In the 1905 NZ Post Office Directory David was living at 50 St. Asaph St and working as a silver smith.

Both David and Rose appeared in the 1908 Christchurch North supplementary electoral roll. Their address was then shown as 307 Madras St and David was working as an engineer.

In the 1908 and 1909 NZ Post Office Directories their address was as above. David was then shown simply as a smith and Rose was a store keeper.

Several newspapers during 1908/09 ran an advertisement for a cough mixture that read – Mrs. R. Gadd, 307 Madras-street, North Christchurch, N.Z., writes:- "Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is a most valuable medicine. I sell a lot of it in my shop, and it is used in my home. I have recommended it to several people and have never known it to fail. There is no question but what it is the foremost cough medicine sold in this district."

And from The Press dated 25 April 1912, Pg 2 – MAGISTRATES’ COURT. INDUSTRIAL BREACHES. Edward Cowper Smith and Mrs R. A. Gadd, for having failed to close their shops at the prescribed hours, were fined 5s each and costs.

In the 1911, 1914 and 1919 Christchurch North electoral rolls David, an engineer, and Rose were shown living at 403 Madras Street. Daughter Edith also appeared in the 1919 roll at this address.

However David and Rose also appeared in the 1919 Avon roll, residing at 21 Howe St, New Brighton. David's employment was then stated as a blacksmith.

The 1911, 1913 and 1916 NZ Post Office Directories all recorded their address as 403 Madras St but in the 1922 and 1923 directories only David was listed and his address shown as 483 Madras St.

The NZ Post Office Directories show both 307 Madras Street and 403 Madras Street were situated in the block between Aberdeen St and Bealey Ave. As several of the residents remained the same between the 1907 and 1913 directories it is clear the street must have been renumbered. However 483 Madras Street was situated in the block between Purchas and Cannon Streets. It was possibly the latter property that was referred to in the 1914 newspaper account below.

From The Press dated 30 June 1913, Pg 8 - CRADDOCK, McCROSTIE COY. SALE REPORT. Messrs Craddock, McCrostie Coy. report having sold by public auction [list included] Having offered by public auction on account of mortgages, three residences situated Moa place and Melrose street, City, [both off Madras Street] but after competition were passed in at £500 to Mr Gadd.

From The Press dated 9 March 1914, Pg 8 - CRADDOCK, McCROSTIE COY. WEEKLY SALE REPORT. Messrs Craddock, McCrostie Coy. report having effected the following sales during last week: [Included] By public auction, on account of Bowen’s Trustee’s, superior residential property, Madras street, St. Albans, to Mr Gadd. [And] On account mortgagees, residential property, being No. 238 Bealey Avenue, city, to Mr D. Gadd.

From The Press dated 9 April 1915, Pg 3 - CHARLES HILL’S ESTATE. A number of properties in the bankrupt estate of Charles Hill were offered by auction yesterday by W. E. Simes and Co., instructed by the Public Trustee. There was a large attendance, and bidding was fairly brisk, and despite common talk regarding the tightness of money, and the alleged absence of the desire to speculate in property, the prices realised for the lots sold were highly satisfactory. The properties sold were [included] No. 397 Madras street, 23 perches and six roomed house, £510, to Mr D. Gadd.

From The Press dated 25 May 1915, Pg 3 - CRADDOCK, McCROSTIE COMPANY. Messrs Craddock, McCrostie Company report having sold [included] on account owner, two fine building sites, situate Malcolm avenue, Fisherton, to Mr James; also building site situate Norwood avenue, Fisherton, to Mr Gadd. [Fisherton is the area now named Beckenham]

From The Press dated 6 December 1917, Pg 9 - WANTED TO LET. TO Let, Superior Residence 6 rooms, all conveniences. Apply Gadd’s Store, 403 Madras street.

These newspaper articles make it clear David bought and sold property in addition to his work as a blacksmith. With this in mind it makes sense that he later worked as a land agent.

David Gadd attested for General Service with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force [WWI] on the 8 June 1917, No. 3/4245. He lied about his age, stating he was born on 1 September 1870 and was only 46 years of age, 8 years younger than he actually was. At this time David and Rose were living at 403 Madras St and their only dependent child was daughter Elsie. David was then employed as a blacksmith with Cooper and Duncan, engineers.

David was posted to NZMC [New Zealand Military Camp] Awapuni on 18 Feb 1918, then transferred to NZMC Narrow Neck on 2 Aug 1918. He was then transferred to Home Service on 5 Aug 1918 and promoted to Lance Corporal on 19 Sep 1918. He was granted leave without pay in lieu of a discharge from 2 Dec 1918.

In the 1928 and 1931 Avon electoral rolls David and Rose were living at 34 Tonks Street, New Brighton, Christchurch. David was then stated as retired.

The 1930 NZ Post Office Directory however gave David's occupation as a land agent.

From The Press dated 15 April 1932, Pg 6 - LAND AGENTS' LICENSES. CHARGE AGAINST MAYOR OF NEW BRIGHTON. MAGISTRATE DISMISSES CASE. A case of interest to land agents was heard in the Magistrate's Court yesterday, before Mr E. D. Mosley. S.M., when Ernest Alexander Moore Leaver, Mayor of New Brighton, was charged with carrying on business as a land agent without a license, between January 1st and March 3rd of this year. He pleaded not guilty, and after a long hearing the case was dismissed. Senior-Sergeant J. Fox said that the alleged offence came under Section 3 of the Land Agents Act of 1921-22. The maximum penalty, if the case were proven, was £30 [or £50 – unclear]. The definition included the letting of houses and applied to those carrying on any other business as well. The defendant was a respected resident of New Brighton and was in business as a tailor in Christchurch. He had at least a small sideline in the letting of houses. David Gadd, a land agent, of North Brighton, said that Leaver had been maintaining a land agent's office at New Brighton. He did not know of any other business Leaver was carrying on. There had been notices "For sale" and "Sections for sale" in the office window until about a month ago. Witness thought it was only fair that defendant should take out a license as well as himself. The defendant said that he had been in business as a land agent between 1921 and 1927, for which period he had been in possession of a license. In 1920 he purchased a tailoring business in Christchurch and continued to carry on both businesses until 1927. When his land agent's license expired he closed his office to such business and obliterated all signs and references to a land agent's office. Between January 1st and March 2nd, this year, there had been two houses let. Defendant had continued to collect a few rents to keep occupied an old pensioner in the borough. He did not have a "To let" sign in his possession. He denied that he had carried on a land agent's business since 1927. "I'm going to say straight out," said the Magistrate, “that if a man holds out that he lets houses and that his only remuneration will be a commission, that is sufficient to constitute him a land agent. But under the circumstances, the Court would not be justified in convicting defendant of carrying on business as an agent. I have known Mr Leaver for many years and I know him to be a finehearted man whose interests are bound up in New Brighton. His good will and disposition are inclined to make him too obliging. This obliging nature has brought him very close to the alleged offence, but I am not satisfied that he carried on such a business between January and March, and that he has done it for profit. There are dozens of people who are not land agents who tell their friends about seaside cottages. I daresay that 90 per cent, of the storekeepers at New Brighton and North Beach are only too willing to point out to customers cottages which are to let. However goodhearted defendant's action might have been, he must be careful, particularly as he is in the position of Mayor. He must not in any way contravene the spirit of the Act. The case will be dismissed.”

David Gadd died on 30 August 1932 at 24 [sic] Tonks Street, New Brighton, Christchurch aged 69 years of a carcinoma of the stomach - 6 months. He was then described as an estate agent. Personal details recorded state David was born in London, married in Worcestershire at age 22 to Rose Amelia Godfrey and was the father of 1 living son aged 45 years and 3 living daughters aged 38, 31 and 28 at the time of his death. He had been a resident of N.Z. for 28 years. Parents were stated as Job Gadd, a manufacturer and Jane Ann Gadd nee Timmins.

David was interred on 1 September 1932 at Bromley Cemetery. The officiating minister was T. M. Curnow, of the Anglican Church.

From The Press dated 1 September 1932, Pg 1 - DEATHS. GADD – On August 30th, 1932, at his residence, 34 Tonks street, North New Brighton, David, dearly beloved husband of Rose Amelia Gadd; aged 69 years. A patient sufferer at rest. (Late of Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England.)

An obituary from The Christchurch Times dated 1 September 1932, Pg 5 reads - Mr David Gadd, who died at his residence, Tonks Street, North Beach, on Tuesday evening, was in his seventieth year. He was born in London and was the eldest son of the late J. and A. Gadd, of Rowley Regis, Staffordshire. After spending some time in America and Australia, he arrived in New Zealand in 1903. He was interested in the territorial movement, and though unable to go on active service he was attached to the Medical Corps in the Palmerston North and Takapuna camps during the Great War. He also rendered valuable service during the 1818 epidemic, especially among the Maoris. He had resided at North Beach for the past ten years. He is survived by a widow, a family of four, twelve grandchildren, and one brother, Mr Richard Gadd, of Wellington.

[The latter is incorrect - Herbert Gadd, of Hamilton was the brother who survived him. Richard was his son.]

Then from The Press dated 3 September 1932, Pg 5 – NORTH BEACH. Funeral. The funeral of the late Mr D. Gadd took place at the Bromley Cemetery on Thursday afternoon. General sympathy for the relatives of Mr Gadd was felt throughout North Beach, as he had been a well-known resident for many years past. Among the many wreaths sent were two from the North Beach Progress League and Beautifying Association, and the business people of North Beach. The burial service was read by the Rev. T. M. Curnow, vicar of St. Faith’s Church, New Brighton.

Following David's death Rose lived with her married daughter Minnie Scott and family. The 1935 and 1938 electoral rolls show their address as 88 Bowhill Rd, New Brighton and the 1946 and 1949 rolls as 59 Chancellor St, Shirley.

There were several mentions of Rose, and often daughters Edith and Minnie, in The Press over the years including -

8 March 1928, Pg 6 - NORTH BEACH ANGLICAN CHURCH. At a meeting of the committee of the North Beach Anglican Church there were present: Messrs W. Miles (in the chair), E. A. M. Leaver, F. J. L. Scott, Mesdames Gadd, N. McGillivray, Goldman, Taylor, Misses I. A. M. Leaver and D. Knowles. A recommendation was received from the Vestry of St. Faith's Church that the North Beach services be held fortnightly in future instead of weekly, as the Rev. F. W. Knowles was no longer able to conduct the services. A suggestion was also received that a more central place be obtained in which to hold the services. It was decided to hold the services fortnightly, the next service to be held on March 18th. It was also decided to accept the offer of the use of the Rochahite lodge room, in Bowhill road, for the services. Mr Miles offered to call on the church members resident in North Beach to acquaint them, of the change, with a view to an increased attendance at the services.
