Robert Harvey Martindale had 6 children, Florence, Marjorie Ellen, Nellie Isobel, James Alfred, Robert Lance, and George.  There are no Martindales left in Dimboola.  Marjorie is still alive, and recently celebrated her 102nd Birthday!

Hi all
In 2016 around Australia Day I met up with Robert John Martindale in Dimboola and we had a look around the cemetery at the Martindale gravestones, and visited the newspaper office where a printing machine was there made near Otley in England. Later that year I went to to see Robert at his home in Melbourne and since then thanks to Rootschat we have been in touch quite a lot and shared our family history information.

As far as I am aware Marjorie’s is still alive. I am in contact with one of her relatives. I have contacted him and asked him about Marjorie and he will get back to me when he knows.

Thank you Tom. Much appreciated and if you have a phone contact number for her - that would be fantastic. The last time I saw her was when she was living in Mt. Waverley and I lost contact when she moved. What a wonderful long life she has lived!!
