I am hoping to find any descendants of John Reardon. When awarded the Bronze Medal he was living with his family in South Melbourne where Southgate is now and he was a Stereoptyper. I think he is related to my husband's family but other than the Award and a signed Affidavit of Surety in another relatives Letters of Administration I cannot find anything more about him.

Not really helping you with descendants, but have you seen the newspaper articles: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article6100378 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article6101724 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article9141594 Kerry

They suggested I contact the State Library of Victoria which I have done and am now waiting for a response. In the Affidavit of Surety, it definitely states that he lived with 'his family' at the address given so there should be descendants. Shirlee Wellington NZ
