Hi, One of my Great uncles married an Agnes Lees Robertson in Geelong in 1854. Agnes Lees Robertson was born in Hobart in 1831 . You might try looking there for relatives there , although the dates do not match there may have been an earlier link to your ancestors. regards Bill Symonds ----- Original Message ----- From: "jo prejza" <jofesine@hotmail.com> To: <AUS-VIC-GEELONG-DISTRICT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2003 11:39 AM Subject: [GEELONG] Robert Robertson and Mary Sked > Hi there, > I'm hoping someone may be able to help with information on Robert Robertson > and Mary Sked.
