No John Greedy on Assisted to NSW list.

Arrival abt 1856 ??

 

[DaveHam9]

Or that was the wrong birth given parents on death reg ??

NSW Death 23413/1948 JONES FRANCIS JULIA - ALBERT - FRANCIS - LAMBTON

NSW Birth GREEDY ERNEST R 11331/1868 JOHN - ELIZA - MAITLAND

Another error with the initial in the index.

GREEDY Ernest Powell Funeral notice 11JAN1886 Funeral late of Lambton Newcastle Herald 11JAN1886

 

[DaveHam9]

So it is the 1858 marriage and arrival could not have been 1856.

No births found in England.

There’s This John and Eliza Greedy on the NSW assisted immigrants passenger list for 1858 on FS, both of Somerset.

The marriage of John Greedy to Eliza Powell is on FreeReg. It took place in Thurloxton, Somerset 27 May 1858. John's father is John Greedy, Carpenter

FreeReg has the baptism for a John Greedy 12 October 1834 in Wiveliscombe, parents John, a wheelwright, and Mary.

Can't see anything so far for Eliza, whose father was William Powell, also a Carpenter.

John Greedy married Mary Burston 9 August 1829 in Ashbrittle, Somerset.

This could be Mary's baptism

Bathealton is about 2 miles away from Ashbrittle
