Edward Miles
Edward Thomas (Teddy) Miles (1849–1944) was born in Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) and during his lifetime served as a merchant seaman, a Free Trade Party Member of the Tasmanian Parliament and Minister and as an entrepreneur. Miles is the grandfather of John Miles, Liberal Party of Australia Member of the Legislative Council of Victoria for Templestowe Province from 1985-92.
Miles worked on ships trading with India, China and South Africa, and after 1879 commanded a series of ships trading the Tasmanian East Coast.〔Elva Brooke (2005), 'Edward Thomas Miles 1849-1944,' Address to Ringwood Historical Society, Victoria, February, unpublished manuscript, p.5〕 He was elected to the Tasmanian lower house of Parliament, the House of Assembly, in December 1893 for the Electoral district of Glamorgan and held that electorate until 1899.〔http://www.parliament.tas.gov.au/history/tasparl/milese239.htm〕 In 1900 he successfully contested the Electoral district of Hobart, but resigned after a matter of weeks to pursue business interests. Miles served briefly as Minister for Lands and Works in the Braddon government between May and October in 1899.〔Colin A. Hughes and B.D. Graham (1968), ''Australian Government and Politics 1890-1964'', Australian National University Press, Canberra, p.254〕
After Parliament Miles engaged in a number of business activities, perhaps the most significant of which was the establishment of tin mining in Siam (Thailand). A monument to Miles was unveiled at Phuket, Thailand, in 1969.〔Brooke, p.6〕 He retired to Ringwood, Victoria, in 1909, then survived another 35 years.〔http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A100487b.htm〕
