William Edward Parry-Okeden (13 May 1840 – 30 August 1926) was a public servant, Police Commissioner and Protector of Aborigines (1895-1903), as well as a horseman, in Queensland, Australia. Under-Colonial Secretary, Queensland, son of David Parry-Okeden, was born at Maranumbela, his father's station, Snowy River, in the Monaro District of New South Wales. Having served three years as an articled clerk to a solicitor in Melbourne, he relinquished the law and joined his father in squatting pursuits in Queensland in 1861. Nine years later he was appointed to initiate the Border Customs, and entered the Civil Service as Inspector of the Border Patrol in December 1870.〔 Having been employed as a police magistrate from 1872 to 1886, Parry-Okeden acted for the next three years as Immigration Agent at Brisbane, receiving the appointment of Under-Colonial Secretary in July 1889. In 1887 he acted with Kinnaird Rose on an inquiry into gaol management in Queensland. Parry-Okeden died on 30 August 1926 in Brisbane and was buried in Balmoral Cemetery. ==External links== *Michael D. de B.
