Hilda Burgess arrives Australia 1914 and then?
« on: Sunday 28 May 17 14:10 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Hilda Burgess (age 5) along with her mother Anne Burgess (nee Jolly) and brother Frederick Jolly Burgess arrived in Australia in 1914. I've accounted for Anne, her husband Walter Henry Campbell Burgess and son Frederick Jolly Burgess through to their deaths but I've found no trace of Hilda post her arrival in 1914. In 1933 her parents and brother are living at 36, Newlands Street, Waverley, NSW but no sign of Hilda - I've not been able to find a death or marriage for her.

Here is sister Ruby O'keefe's death notice in 1972.   Once again there is a mention of Hilda but no details.

When did Anne and Frederick die Jen?   Do you have their death notices?  I was hoping for some clues in the death notices

Wow - sorry been out in the garden digging didn't think I'd get a response so quickly. Frederick Jolly Burgess dies in New Zealand age 81. I have him travelling to NZ in 1938. He married but I don't think he had any children. Anne Burgess - dies in 1964 NSW, Hurstville  Australia. I didn't know about Ruby! Sorry, Rosball you're too quick I need to read through and process this information  ;)

Pleasure to help Jen  :)

But it's nearly 1 am here and I'm fading fast - I think you should be able to find the relevant entries in the NSW BDM.
