Charles Meredith (politician)
Charles Meredith (29 May 1811 – 2 March 1880) was an Australian Grazier and Politician, Tasmanian Colonial Treasurer for several years in the mid-to-late 19th century.
==Early life==
Meredith was born at Poyston Lodge, Pembroke, Wales, the youngest son of George Meredith and his wife, Sarah Westall Hicks.〔 He was descended in a direct line from the last kings of Wales. His father saw service in the royal marines during the Napoleonic wars, and later decided to emigrate to Van Diemen's Land (later called Tasmania). He arrived at Hobart with his father, wife and family on 18 March 1821〔 and became one of the best known of the early pioneers. Charles assisted his father in farming in Tasmania for some time.
In 1834 Meredith went to New South Wales and took up land on the Murrumbidgee River after being denied a grant of land by Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur. He visited England in 1838 and on 18 April 1839 married his cousin, Louisa Anne Twamley. On his return to Australia he spent two years in New South Wales, but it was a depressed period and he made heavy losses. He then went to Tasmania, and in 1843 was appointed a police magistrate at Port Sorell in the north-west.
