Frederick Reidy Jolley (Australia-New Guinea)
My grandmother's second husband was Frederick Reidy Jolley, who was born in Melbourne in 1883, the son of Frederick Jolley and Agnes Lucretia Reidy. He served in the Boer War, worked for Queen Emma on New Ireland, was British Consul in Rabaul (German New Guinea) when the First World War started, later served with the 58th Battalion AIF at the Western Front, then had a plantation at Kokopo near Rabaul in the 1920s and '30s. When he enlisted in WWI he was married to Mabel Frege-Weltzien, whose address he gave as the Bank of Pasadena, California. His parents were married in Hobart and his mother's parents were Thomas Patrick Reidy (b 1829)and Caroline Ottaway (b 1838). His aunt was Elizabeth Mary Ann (Lilla) Reidy, a minor member of the Heidelberg school of Australian artists. Any information would be appreciated.
