Edward William Andrews (17 May 1812 – 23 February 1877)〔 〕 was a newspaper editor in the early days of the Colony of South Australia. He was born the eldest son of Rev. Edward Andrews, LL.D., a Congregationalist minister of Walworth, London, and started life as a merchant, eventually becoming a member of the London Stock Exchange. He and his family migrated to South Australia on the ''Anna Robertson'', arriving in Adelaide on 20 September 1830. ==Business== In December 1830 he helped found the South Australian Insurance Joint Stock Company, and early in 1840 founded the firm of Gorton & Andrews, merchants. He had a close personal and business relationship with James Frew (for whom Frewville is named) of Frew & Co. Andrews was declared insolvent in 1843 and the company was declared insolvent in 1846. In 1841 Andrews became a Director of the Marine Fire and Life Insurance Company. In 1850 or thereabouts, Andrews joined the staff of the ''South Australian'' newspaper, then joined the staff of the ''Register'' shortly after the death of John Stephens. After having been run for some time by John Taylor, the Register and its weekly sister publication, the Adelaide Observer, were purchased in May 1853 by a consortium of Andrews, William Kyffin Thomas, Anthony Forster and Joseph Fisher. From that date to the time of his death he took an active part in the management of that journal.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward William Andrews」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
