I think Photo 1 is Ulmus parvifolia and photos 2 and 3 are Celtis australis

Both Ulmus and Celtis are in teh el family which is distinguished by the unevenness of teh sides of their leaf bases

interesting. the photos are of 3 separate specimens. the seedling was from weed trees along the creek that had been killed as part of the revegetation, and were identified by a lay landcare person as "box alder". the other specimens were from trees within 50m of the area that I assumed to be the same species. I had ruled out Ulmus procera, of which there are mature trees planted in parks downstream from this location.
