  1. 3.  Simon Edwin MunroSimon Edwin Munro Descendancy chart to this point (2.John2, 1.Simon1) was born on 24 Mar 1865 in Toowoomba, , Queensland, Australia; died on 23 Nov 1945 in Clayfield, Brisbane, Australia.

    Notes:

    Simon began working for James Campbell & Sons in Creek Street in Brisbane, a company owned by relatives of his mother. He soon became manager, but after two years, he became interested in pearl fishing and formed the company of Munro, Outridge and Company.

    In Mar 1899, during the annual monsoon season, a cyclone struck at Charrlotte Bay in north Queensland where the pearling fleet was anchored. Edwin was in charge of the 102 ton schooner 'Aladin', with his brothers John, Horace, and other crew members on board. He survived although it was reported that 70 vessels and 307 lives were lost at that time.

    Most of the pearling operations were carried out in the Torres Island area. Edwin would dive using a heavy diving suit and helmet. He met the Japanese, Mikimoto, who had perfected the cultured pearl industry. Although Edwin experimented with this process, he was never able to produce a perfect pearl.

    Edwin won numerous prizes as a rower in Brisbane, had interests in pastoral properties in Queensland, a timber mill in Koyogle, New South Wales, and travelled to these distant places in Cobb & Co. coaches. He became a director of the Brisbane Gas company, and Telegraph newspaper, and a member of Brisbane's Clubs. He built a home in Brisbane, at Clayfield, which he called 'Darlo', named after a former aboriginal site nearby. He lived there until his death.

    His wife, Mary, was a graduate of Sydney University. After her death, Edwin founded scholarships at Brisbane University in her memory.
