Edward Greville (1822 – 9 July 1903)[1] was a politician in colonial New South Wales (a state of Australia from 1901).[2]
Greville was born in Bristol, England, the son of Charles Greville and his wife Agnes, née Cole and emigrated to Victoria (Australia) around 1852.[3] Around 1853 he moved to New South Wales.[3]
Greville was a member for Braidwood in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 17 October 1870 to 9 November 1880.[1] He was subsequently appointed Commissioner of Land Titles for that colony.[2] He originated and was the editor of the "Yearbook of Australia," a standard work of reference on all matters relating to Australia.[2] On 30 August 1892 he was summoned to the New South Wales Legislative Council[1] by the third Dibbs ministry,[2] a position he held until his death.[1]
