Robertson/Painter Marriage
« on: Tuesday 16 May 06 12:29 BST (UK) »
I am hoping somebody else has similar interests to me.

My GGrandmother, Margaret Robertson, married in Brisbane, Australia in 1911.  On her marriage certificate she states that her father was Frank Robertson, Builder, born Hammersmith, Middlesex.  Her mother is recorded as Jane Painter born Hammersmith, Middlesex.

Margaret was born in 1876 (from what she says on the marriage certificate) and I have no information on any siblings.  She was living in Brighton before paying for a second class passage to Australia in 1908 (I think).  As you can see she didn't leave too many tracks wherever she went!!!

I have never been able to find any record of this family in any of the indicies I have searched.

Is there somebody who has an interest in the names or the area who might be able to give me some advice on where to go from here.
