James Dredge (minister) explained

James Dredge (1796 - 1846) was an English Wesleyan Methodist preacher, Assistant Protector of Aborigines at Port Phillip in Australia.[1]

Dredge gave up his position as Assistant Protector, which he considered misconceived: secular and possibly set up to fail.[2] He was a preacher at Geelong from 1842 to 1846.

In poor health, Dredge was returning to England when he died on the ship.[3]
