George Lawrence Merrotsy was in the Boer War. He's listed several times in list on Trove.
He also had two letters home published.

Thankyou so much everyone for your help and quick response!  Truly appreciative of all the information you have given.  Thanks deeiluka for the birth records...as you say, certainly many spelling variations.  Will look further into them!!

Hello,

RE: "  I believe he came from Malta but am not sure if it was himself or his parents who actually immigrated. "

Were you able to establish a link to Malta ?

Hi Grant,

It's been some time since I looked at this family so I just had a quick peek to re familiarise myself!

I found that I had saved this article stating that Laurence was originally from Italy.

https://www.coasit.com.au/images/ihs/journals/IHSJ_vol07_no1_1999.pdf - page 23.

However, the Adelaide hospital admission records that records his death, states that his country of birth was Malta!

Do you have a connection to the family?

Regards,
Andrea

Hi Andrea, 

Yes I believe Susanna Merrotsy (Marotsia) - 1870 - 1933 is my great-grandmother on my mothers side. 

Also my mother's sister has a 6% hit for Malta on her Ancestry DNA.
