The first REEDS family in Australia



George David William REEDS first married Ada EARWAKER on 2nd June 1885 at Portsea, Hampshire, England. Their first daughter, Margery Alice, was born 14 August 1886 in Fratton, Portsmouth. Their second daughter, Lilian Florence, was born 24 July 1888 at Prahran, Victoria in Australia.

So it appears that George, his wife Ada and first born daughter travelled to Australia from England about 1887, possibly arriving in Port Melbourne, Victoria.

George REEDS' name is located at Panel 11, Column 1, Line 28 on the Welcome Wall at Sydney's Darling Harbour,
visit Welcome Wall where you can review his details.
