junerobo on 2009-04-06 20:04:06Hi Allycat,
Been there and done all of those. his wife was Maria Sarah Hill, b 1839 Hobart town parents Benjamin & Susan Hill [Nee smith] Maria b Hobart Town.
Both George and Maria are buried Musket Flat, which use to be their property where their "The Travellers Rest Inn" was.
We have just laid a plaque on their lone graves on 24th January this year.
Have tried Scotland as George was b there but only knowing that his name was Robertson makes it very hard as their parents sent them to Australia to teach them a lesson caught Deer Poaching on the Duke of Atholl's Property. family story. Apparently on the property the family says that their was cutlery with the crest on it.
So I really don't know where to go next.
Thanks
June
