en James Dredge (minister)

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]
