In 1897, his parents also emigrated to Queensland, with his father joining his sons in the malting business.[7] In the end, only four of his siblings remained in New Zealand.[3] In 1902, he established his own maltings business.[1] In 1904 the business was sold to William Jones & Son,[6] and he was its general manager until 1913. In 1913 he established the Redwood Toowoomba Grain Exchange but the business quickly failed and was liquidated later the same year.[1] After being awarded £500 in a libel action against the Darling Downs Gazette, he moved to Europe and settled in London where he became a member of an anti-prohibitionist group, the Fellowship of Freedom and Reform.[1] In 1896 he married Mary Werkin Wakefield and together had 3 sons and four daughters.[8] He died in London in 1954.[1] Political careerRedwood was a member of a member of the Gowrie Shire Council and for some time was an Alderman on the Toowoomba City Council including its mayor in 1910.[1] At the 1904 Queensland state elections he stood for the two-member seat of Drayton and Toowoomba but was beaten by fellow Ministerialists James Tolmie and John Fogarty.[9] When Fogarty died later that same year Redwood stood at the by-election but was once again beaten, this time by the Labour candidate, Edward Smart.[10] He finally won the seat at the 1907 state election but held it for only two years before his defeat in 1909.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{cite web|title=Former Members|publisher=Parliament of Queensland|year=2015| url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/members/former/bio?id=2659520887|accessdate= 24 March 2016}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|au-qld}}{{s-bef|before= James Tolmie}}{{s-ttl |title= Member for Drayton and Toowoomba|years=1907–1909|alongside=Thomas Roberts}}{{s-aft|after=James Tolmie}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Redwood, Vernon Charles}}2. ^Vernon Charles Redwood — State Library of Queensland.
