My great-great-grandfather, Joseph James Greening, was a retired clock and watchmaker; keeper of the Melbourne Post Office clock until 1847; clerk a Sunday School Superintendent at St James Church, Corner William and Little Collins Street, Melbourne, as well as an inaugural member of St James Visiting Society. He was buried at Burial Hill in August 1852. Later his remains were exhumed and reburied in the Old Pioneers (Episcopalian section) at Fawkner Memorial Park on 1 January 1900, alongside his 16-month-old grandson Charles Greening Ward.
