This is a link to a family tree which needs some kind of verification
And here is something else of interest:
New Times - March 2011 (Uniting Church SA)
"Financing a Future
Out of charity, Prince Alfred College (PAC) was born, thanks largely to Thomas Greaves Waterhouse.
A man of strong Methodist faith, Thomas shared the vision of PAC's founders to establish a Methodist school for boys. From vision came action as Thomas invested significant finances . . . "
This article also displays a photo of TGW. The paper is accessible by googling New Times - March 2011 - Uniting Church in Australia (its a pdf pdfpdf)
Google books also has some references which may help. Eddaido ( talk) 03:13, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
I know its (relatively) big and impressive but it was not his (or hers). In the absence of any other pictures I don't mind a picture and a note it was built on (presumably a small part of his landholdings) his land by his son but too much is being made of the subject as it stands now - a day or so ago it was about all WP had on him! Now it can have a more balanced mention - almost none. What do you think?
Hey! What's this? Who is correct?
Some of the artcile's phrasing is still uncomfortable to read.

If you look here you will see a record of the birth at Conisbrough Yorks. 8 February 1809 of a John Waterhouse who was baptised for Lydia and Thomas Waterhouse and so fits with this record for the younger TGW. It looks as if there was an elder brother William born 5 October 1807.
If you look at this newspaper item (The South Australian Advertiser, Tuesday 2 June 1874) you will see the report of John's (late of Adelaide) death 14 April 1874 in Hooton Roberts (a few miles from Conisbrough) Yorkshire aged 65 years. (OK it says aged 66 it means 66th year look at the burial register) He was buried at Hooton Roberts 16 April 1874 aged 65. A 22-year old Lydia Waterhouse was buried there a couple of years before. Following his death there are newspaper notes of bequests to come from his will to local charities but no detail. There are subsequent reports of a donation to the Hospital which has been taken by the government's treasury (????) and another of £200 to The Adelaide Benevolent and Strangers Friend Society which arrived via TGW (???). Did John leave Adelaide in debt?
Looking at Adelaide newspapers from say 1844 John took a very active part in the business community, petitioning for a corporation for Adelaide, forming a gas light company, forming substantial mining companies etc. It appears he left Adelaide about the end of 1867 and was not reported by those newspapers in any volume until his death in 1874. The England census of 1871 should tell more. Eddaido ( talk) 02:34, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
According to the notes made by the State Library of SA this family descends from TGW or brother because they held items about TGW. The SLSA holds much more than can be easily referred to here. Eddaido ( talk) 03:41, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
