« on: Wednesday 06 May 20 00:50 BST (UK) »
Kia Ora Koutou,
I too am a descendant of Edward and Te Korowhiti, they are my great great great grandparents, although some of you are correct my research shows that Edwards wife's full name was Te Korowhiti Tuataka, she did not have the Isobella in her name legally, that was a name given to her by Edward because he could not pronounce her Māori name correctly, I would like to ask if anyone has any info on Edward joining the Royal Navy though as I cannot seem to find his name on any of the records, or on any info on him being in the 3rd Waikato regiment either, if anyone can shed some light or point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it.
