Robert Ernest Simpson was my Grandfather.  I am wondering if anyone is still looking into his family?

Hi Offroad, I received message from you but as I am new to RootsChat I am not allowed to send PM's until I do 3 Posts.  Hope this counts as number 2!

For the record, Robert Simpson (no middle name) married Lucy Spurr.  Robert Ernest Simpson was their eldest son, born in 1884.  To my knowledge the family never lived in Benalla.  In the 1850's, John Simpson (Robert's father) lived in Bacchus Marsh.
