I have just discovered that the town of Robertson, south of Sydney, is named after my 2 x Great Uncle Sir John Struan Robertson who was born in London 1866 and came with his family to Australia when he was 11 years old.  John's mother was Anna Maria Ripley... 'Ripley' was my fathers first name and has been used as a christian name with many of our family over the years.  Sir John was Premier of NSW 5 times!  

This statue of my Great Great Uncle is in the Domain, Sydney.
