There are several records for Hilda M Cowell US Border Crossings from Canada to USA
The last record I can see is arrival date 1/9/1941 Buffalo New York gives a birth date of 11 October 1902 Seaforth England occupation nurse returning resident
Contact details Father Richard Cowell in Canada also on other records her mother Francis
1931 Census Hilda Cowell age 27 single born England registered nurse address Nurses home Brooklyn Kings New York
Can't find anything so far after this so she might have returned to Canada

Thanks for your search Rosie, I wonder if she may of stayed in US , it's strange as I can find the info on the mum, and 2 sisters, I've even got a photo of their headstone, but nothing for the three remaining, thank you for looking into it for me, I've just hit a brick wall x
-
Wingham cemetery would be right as that's where her parents and sisters were buried, would you have any idea how I could find the years of death for them both. Thanks Karen x
-
Maybe contact the Wingham Cemetery to see if they can help with dates or maybe someone on here might have access to more information

click on digitized service file to see his complete record. It is very slow to load.
