  Notes	1911 census: Edward (24, born Walworth) was a barman in a pub at 121 Bishopgate, London City. Edward emigrated - both he and his wife died in New Zealand. On 16 September 1916 Edward's name appeared in the Auckland Star in a list of volunteers, the 21st draft, who would be departing as reinforcements to the main body of the NZ Expeditionary Force. Edward, of Grey Street, Auckland, was joining the infantry. Edward was listed again in the Dominion on 12 February 1919 under the heading 'Returning Men'. In 1923 an E W Minter appeared in court: WHAT COULD HE DO? In a charge of threatening behaviour brought against E. W. Minter and Albert Henry Hall, evidence was given of a neighbour's squabble. Hall admitted he had stepped over a fence into the road when the other man challenged, in answer to the magistrate. "What else was a man to do? My wife lost her temper, and she said, 'Alf, if you don't hit him I will.'" (Laughter.) "You knocked one of his teeth out," said Mr. Inder-"Did I? Well I was more lucky than I thought I was," said Hall. The charge against Minter was dismissed, and that against Hall (Mr. Hogg) was also dismissed upon payment of costs.
