Some Famous People called Robert Solly

Robert Solly

Robert Henry (Bob) Solly (9 September 1859 – 5 June 1932) was an Australian politician.

Born in Ramsgate, Kent, to Stephen Solly and Eliza Sage, he received no formal education and worked on a farm and a rope factory. At the age of ten he moved to Newcastle to work in the boot trade, and emigrated to South Australia when he was seventeen. After a year in Adelaide he travelled to New South Wales via Victoria, where he worked as a station hand. After another five-year stint in Adelaide (during which time, in 1873, he married Adelaide Mary Graham, with whom he had four children), he moved to Collingwood in Melbourne and returned to bootmaking, becoming president of the Bootmakers Union.

A founding member of the Labor Party, Solly was a Richmond City Councillor from 1903 to 1909. In 1904 he was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Railway Officers, resigning in 1906 to run for the House of Representatives. Having been unsuccessful, he returned to the Assembly via a by-election for the seat of Carlton and served until his death at Carlton in 1932.

Robert Henry Solly

Robert Henry Solly (14 December 1883 – 2 November 1968) was an architect and local politician who is best known for serving as Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Victoria from 1953 to 1954.

Robert was the eldest son of Robert Henry Solly (Bob) (who was himself a politician in the Victorian Legislative Council and a founding member of the Australian Labor Party), and was born in Adelaide before the family moved to Melbourne in 1885.

After a lengthy career as a draughtsman (for I. G. Beaver) and architect, having moved away from the more partisan politics of his father, Solly entered local politics as an independent candidate for a seat on the Melbourne City Council. He maintained his seat on the Council for the remainder of his life, punctuated by his one-year term as Lord Mayor of Melbourne in 1953–54, which was most notable for the high-profile visit in 1954 of Queen Elizabeth II.

Solly died on 2 November 1968 in East Melbourne, and was buried in Fawkner cemetery. He was survived by his wife and their two daughters.
