Hilda Rossi Clifford - did she die in South Africa?
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 15:19 UTC (UK) »
I have an extra fact relating to the following thread I started a while ago -

I now know that Hilda must have died before 1926.  I cannot find any trace of her returning to England - and I think this unlikely as she only emigrated in 1921.  Is there any chance of finding her death?



I am trying to find the death of Hilda Rossi Clifford.  I think she probably died in South Africa.

She emigrated to Durban in 1921 with her mother, Elizabeth Serena Clifford (see other threads Grin), her brother Arthur and sister Violet.

Arthur stayed in South Africa (his son still lives there) and Violet returned to England when Elizabeth died in 1935..... but I can't find any sign of Hilda returning to England or dying here.

The story goes that she died following a skating accident.  I have a letter written by Elizabeth to her son (my grandfather, Hilda's brother) in 1931. She mentions all of her children - except for Hilda, which leads me to think that Hilda had died by then.  The letter is addressed from 172 Ninth Avenue, Durban, Natal.

I would like to tie up this loose end and would be very grateful for any help!

Many thanks

Tilly
