I've been searching the records all day and have put a journal together for Oscar RERDEN and Elizabeth OPIE married in 1899. If this is not the family you seek let me know and I will try again.
Thank you so much. Yes Oscar and Elizabeth Retdn are my Grandparents. Any thing else you can tell me? Such as their address and lives in Maldon etc but especially any family history. I will be indebted for ever. Regards Aileen
If you have the name and birth year of the missing child I will do another search. The birth may have been recorded under a different spelling than RERDEN.

27th June 1911, Bendigo Advertiser MUCKLEFORD CREEK FATALITY. THE BODY RECOVERED. Maldon, 26th June. Although the police of Maldon and Castlemaine, assisted by farmers and others, had been dragging tho Muckleford Creek for the past week to recover the body of Mr. C. H. Rerden, who was supposed to have been drowned whilst endeavoring to cross tho creek while it was in floos, it was not until 10 minutes past 11 o'clock 0n Sunday morning that the body was re- covered in about 5ft. of water, 150 yards below the crossing. As the suspense was becoming terrible for the aged parents and bereaved relatives, the fire bell was rung on Saturday evening, and arrangements were made to convey as many helpers as possible to the scene of the accident on Sunday morning. This was well respond- ed to, and about 300 persons wended their way to the creek.Dragging was com- menced from below the crossing, and every inch was carefully gone over by the many willing helpers. At 11.10 a miner named J. Van, who was working from' a boat in the middle of the stream, found the body close t0 a log in 5ft. of water. The body was subsequently removed to de- ceased's late residence. It was not knocked about in any way. It was found that, de- ceased's watch had stopped at 11.10 am., whilst his purse, containing £2/0/3, spec- tacles, and delivery book, were found in tact. An inquest was held to-day by Mr. A. Barlow, P.M., when evidence was given by Messrs. O. and A. Rerden, L. Pietsch, J. Van, and Senior-constable Adams. It was pointed out that 0n Monday last the creek was running a banker, and there was over 7ft. of water at the crossing, whilst just below the fender log the depth would be 15ft. The deceased could not swim, and there were no posts or marks to show the depth of water. The crossing was dan- gerous, at such times. The horse and baker's cart were found 72 yards below the crossing on Tuesday last. The coro- ner said he had inspected the scene of the accident that morning, and there was no doubt as to the cause of death. Some thing should bo done to avoid any future fatalities. The road was a public one, and the council should erect posts on each bank to show the depth of water. The deceased must have known the crossing was dangerous, but he had been foolhardy. He recorded a verdict of accidental death, and added that the council should take immediate steps to carry out the suggestion made. He expressed his sym- pathy with the bereaved relatives, and re- ferred in terms of praise to the efforts of the farmers and others who had neg- lected, their work to assist in dragging the creek day by day. These remarks were endorsed by Sergeant Middleditch on behalf of the police.

He was riding a young horse, owned by R. Jones, of Maldon, and during the race it got beyond his control. He collided with a tree, and besides having his right arm badly fractured above the elbow suffered severely from shock. He was taken by motor car to the Maldon Hospital, and is now pro- gressing fairly well. The bone of the arm was protruding through the skin when he was picked up, after the fall from the horse
Thank you so much this is wonderful. Do you have any info on the family house and the address? Also any luck with the missing child's history yet pls? Aileen
They are sad people!! Not interested in nasties! All I want to do is find out about my Rerden Family when they lived in Maldon, Vic. Before they went to Coburg, Zvic
Look at THIS Picture . See McArthur's that was the home of the baker; look next door at the cream weatherboard place with the people sitting out front. That is and was the bakehouse. Since Rerden and Co were bakers in Maldon and their address on the electoral roll is given as 'Main Street Maldon' I think this is where they lived. It is number 51 Main Street. I have asked the locals and they cannot recall any other bakery in Maldon. McArthur established it in 1854 (oddly enough he was a swordsmith when he arrived in Maldon.) To be absolutely sure of this you would have to go through the rate books. But, my investigation says this is the only bakery operating in Maldon when Charles Rerden and Co. were there. Oscar Rerdon lived for a short time in Parkins Reef Road which goes all the way to Newstead and again you would need to see the rate books to know which number.
Sorry Aileen I think that should be James Rerden and Co. Charles (the brother) drowned in the swollen Muckleford Creek when he was delivering bread for his brother and didn't know the route too well. You'll find the story in TROVE I remember correcting the text a few months ago.
you need to provide more data for someone to help.
