Eclipse was named for the solar eclipse of 1885. He stayed with his father, Apostle, after his father's divorce from Annie.
Eclipse first appears in the electoral rolls as a farmer in 1911. In 1914 he married Mary Ann Branfield. In 1917 he is recorded in the NZ Army reserve rolls as a railway employee and seems to have spent the rest of his life working for the railways.
In 1934 he married Eva Rita Gwendoline Hammill. lambert
