WADE, WILLIAM RICHARD (1802-91) came to New Zealand with Colenso in 1834 as superintendent of the mission press, but spent most of his time at missionary work until his views on baptism led to his retirement. He left for Hobart in 1842 and published in Melbourne A Journey in the Northern Island of New Zealand. He became a minister of the Independent church, and died in Melbourne on 25 Oct 1891.
