Edwin left them some time late 1930s and just disappeared. my mother married William francis jones in 1945 and had 4 children Kenneth victor born 1946 me Helen denise 1947 Valerie Maureen 1949 lynette doris 1952. mum did not tell us about Edwin leaving until just before she died, she still felt very sad about it but she had a good long life dying in 2011. I would love to know more about him and his extra family. do you have his death certificate etc. my sisters and I would love to visit his final resting spot. do you know exactly where his ashes are in rockwood cemetery. it wont be for awhile, until my broken arm is better. I have not been able to find death certificates for his parents, they were divorced and she may have remarried. I cant go back very far on the Robertson side but have been so lucky on mums grandfathers side right back to 1555 in cornwall England, my sisters and I have planned a trip there next april. regards helen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi, A check on Ancestry has an Edwin Charles Robertson, born 1902 Ballarat who was awarded a UK Campaign Medal for Merchant Seaman WW1, it has a website of http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk Also an Edwin Charles Robertson is shown as again born 1902 and died Dec 1942 in Northumberland Central UK. The Reference for that is Vol 106 Page 403. Could this be your chap, you did mention he had navy connections.
