George Klewitz Soward

[citation needed] His wife Eliza Maria,[1] née Maloney (c. February 1816 – 30 May 1855) and their daughter Eliza Maria Soward (c. 1838 – 26 January 1901) arrived in December 1838 aboard the same Lady Emma from Launceston; they may have broken their journey in Tasmania.

[4] Soward was architect to the South Australian Jockey Club, and designed several grandstands, including one at Adelaide Oval.

[citation needed] Soward married Emmy Lucy Charlotte Beare on 7 April 1880 at St Barnabas Church in Clare.

[1] Soward was a director of the Glenelg Railway Company and the City Permanent Building Society, and was a prominent member of the Council of the National Defence League.

[8] He also wrote several works, including a novel called The Mirthful Mutineer, which was published in the Australian Woman's Mirror, a Sydney magazine.

Maintaining a strong interest in history, his article "One Hundred Years of Building" was published in South Australian Homes and Gardens in 1936.
