John Street (Australian politician)

John Rendell Street (19 October 1832 23 March 1891) was an Australian politician.

He was born at Woodlands near Bathurst to pastoralist John Street and Maria Rendell. In 1849 he became a businessman in Sydney, first with Smith, Crawford & Co., and then as a partner in Allen, Street & Norton. In 1885 he became managing director of the Perpetual Trustee Company. On 4 December 1860 he married Susanna Caroline Lawson, with whom he had seven children; a second marriage, on 23 April 1883 to Anna Maria Smith, produced no children. In 1887 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as a Free Trade member for East Sydney, a position he held until his death at Elizabeth Bay in 1891.[1]
