She's Norfolk Island’s

Oldest Resident

Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Cobcroft Robinson, of Rocky Point, Norfolk Island, celebrated 65 years of married life on April 20. Mrs. Robinson, who is 94, is Norfolk’s oldest resident.

Mr. Robinson’s main occupation has been farming, though as a young man he was engaged in whaling around the Norfolk coast. He is a veteran of the Boer War and represented Norfolk at the coronation of King Edward VII.

Some years ago he received the MBE for his community services. He served on the Executive and Advisory Councils for more than 21 years and was Council President four times. Always active in Church of England affairs, he held the office of churchwarden for 30 years. — Photo: Merval Hoare.
