Time hidden in Australia? John REDDIN
« on: Tuesday 27 August 13 10:27 BST (UK) »
John Joseph Reddin sailed from Liverpool two months after marrying in Manchester. Arrived in Melbourne Australia from Liverpool in Dec 1881, then on to Sydney. Next I know is that he married again in Dublin in 1888. Did he maybe marry while in Australia? I cannot find any passenger lists back to England or Ireland. He was not a professional sailor.

Anyone able to help me fill in gap please, would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Jency,
I am sure there will be some here who will be glad to help if they can with your inquiry about JOHN REDDIN.

More information from you if you have it would be a big help.

How do you know he cam to Aust.?
What were his parents' names?
Did he abandon his wife?
What documentation do you have to ensure that your various sightings of the man of that name are actually the same identity?

You say "not a professional sailor" , so do you know his occupation?

We may find all sorts of things about a chap of the name, but we need more help to be certain that we are spotting items relevant to your man.
