My father George Eric Jones was married toEttie Robertson and I have been looking for his name regarding her death in October 1935, However he is not really mentioned other than the name JONES. It appears her older sister and brother in law were mentioned. Perhaps there may have been a few cupboard skeletons.

I've been a bit busy and distracted with Xmas preparations et al. If you search trove.nla.gov.au and put the search terms in as follows "Ettie Robertson" AND swim you should get about 690 results. Make sure to put Ettie Robertson in inverted commas. Have fun!Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-2784733764935969192023-11-28T16:36:49.101+10:002023-11-28T16:36:49.101+10:00@Marjorie Conley I have been looking for informati...@Marjorie Conley I have been looking for information on Ettie Robertson as I think my husbands family is related to her.We knew she was a good swimmer and died young.Do you know where we could find more information about her?<br />Maree Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174226191024720304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-55913944231734487452023-01-15T17:12:05.054+10:002023-01-15T17:12:05.054+10:00Hi Marjorie - oh I'm so glad you found my arti...Hi Marjorie - oh I'm so glad you found my article. That's so wonderful to find more descendants of the swimming troupe as it were. I learned lots in the process of writing it. It was great to see so many women of that generation really enjoying their sport, representing their state and sharing the love and knowledge.Alex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-84720387400666190802023-01-15T15:30:13.529+10:002023-01-15T15:30:13.529+10:00Thank you Chris,

Lily Robertson was my husband's aunt and I know she was an excellent swimmer, but I believe her younger sister Ettie may have been better. She was winning championships in all fields of the sport and eventually became Australian Champion and also Australian Diving Champion. Unfortunately, she died quite young. Found your article very interesting.Marjorie Conleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-72421122437706672292018-01-21T18:40:15.742+10:002018-01-21T18:40:15.742+10:00I love getting in the swim but can't say I hav...I love getting in the swim but can't say I have any talent or prowess.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-76257428975870671812018-01-20T18:19:08.645+10:002018-01-20T18:19:08.645+10:00Thank you dear ChrisThank you dear ChrisAlex Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083753053051713061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-82988644767210109692018-01-19T08:08:32.041+10:002018-01-19T08:08:32.041+10:00I have included your blog in INTERESTING BLOGS in ...I have included your blog in INTERESTING BLOGS in FRIDAY FOSSICKING at<br /><br />https://thatmomentintime-crissouli.blogspot.com/2018/01/friday-fossicking-jan-19-2018.html<br /><br />Thank you, Chris<br />Crissoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148084999701286044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-90155278463928723872018-01-16T20:52:04.513+10:002018-01-16T20:52:04.513+10:00Oops, should have proof read that!!Oops, should have proof read that!!crgalvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01118766224187668713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-8573547671743849182018-01-16T20:50:53.097+10:002018-01-16T20:50:53.097+10:00Wathced the film clip, most interesting had never ...Wathced the film clip, most interesting had never heard of the trudgeon crawl. As for me, not a good swimmer but in the water most days throughout this hot weather. My style? mostly trudging through the water. 😀crgalvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01118766224187668713noreply@blogger.com
