James Dredge (minister)
James Dredge was an English Wesleyan Methodist preacher, Assistant Protector of Aborigines at Port Phillip.
Dredge gave up his position as Assistant Protector, which he considered misconceived: secular and possibly set up to fail. He was a preacher at Geelong from 1842 to 1846. He then was in poor health, and undertook a sea voyage to take him back to England. He died on the way.
