Or of her Parents Charles Davey (1891-1965) and Amy May Hocking (1892-1960)
How certain are you that this is the correct death for Charles DAVEY, father of (Margaret) Hilda? The death in 1965 for Charles Thomas DAVEY is at Lismore (14396/1966). There is a death notice and obituary for him in the Northern Star (27 Dec 1965 and 25 Jan 1966). Unfortunately I don't have access to this newspaper so haven't read the obit, however, there is Charles Thomas DAVEY mentioned in a couple of articles at Lismore around 1938-1950 - the same time period your Charles is in Broken Hill. I suspect these are two different people. :-\
-
Amy May DAVEY died 27 May 1960, death registered Broken Hill in 1960 (16656/1960), parents Alfred Edward and Margaret.
-
Is this death more likely -
Charles Robert DAVY died 13 July 1970 death registered Broken Hill (27612/1970) parents William Robert and Amelia.
A possible birth then in 1899: Charles R DAVY registrered at Silverton (near Broken Hill) with parents William and Amelia (16027/1899).

something to work on to find which person belongs to right family but do appreciate all the help
-
Other children born to William and Amelia DAVEY at Silverton:
1893 William G DAVEY (32423/1893 )
1895 Elizabeth M DAVY (16981/1895)
1897 Hilda V DAVY (16566/1897)
1899 Charles R DAVY (16027/1899)
1901 Arthur H DAVY (26618/1901)
An Amelia DAVY died in 1904 registered at Broken Hill (8755/1904) parents John and Amelia.
Modified to add:
There is also a death for an Amelia DAVEY registered at Broken Hill in 1951 (30303/1951), parents William R and Amelia, though I can't readily see her birth registration. A death notice here says she was 63 and born at Thakaringa.

not that i know of still trying to find out

Still not sure if this is the correct Charles DAVEY, however there is an obituary for his father William Robert DAVY here:
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article50005778
Died 3 August 1945 at Silverton, aged 84, born Bagot Gap, SA.

ok, so Charles Robert DAVY is definitely a different man to your Charles DAVEY of 168 Morgan Lane, as they both appear in various electoral rolls. Please ignore the last few posts then that deal with Charles Robert.
I'm still confused as to why your Charles death would be registered at Lismore? :-\

An engagement notice for another son of Mr and Mrs Charles DAVEY of Morgan Lane in 1942 - Colin Rex DAVEY (1919-1980) to Rita Audrey GRANT.
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article48379527
I don't think he married her as he appears to have married Lily Veronica DIXON (died 1985) in 1948.
Also a couple of school admissions in 1929 for Charles James DAVEY (1915- 1986) and the above Colin Rex DAVEY ( to Glenelg School, SA) sons of Charles DAVEY .
Charles James DAVEY married Myrtle MARTIN in 1945. (I think she died 2005)

That's great Rhonda, I was going to look further afield. You beat me to it. ;)

You can see in reply #3 the engagement notice and marriage of Lois June DAVEY. I didn't mention her name at the time as I wasn't sure if she was still alive (as per RootsChat policy), however I see that she died 12 May 2010. Her birth date was recorded on her school admission - 3 July 1925 (Glenelg Primary School in 1931). I see Hilda Margaret is also on the same roll.
Children to Charles and Amy DAVEY include:
1915 - 1986 Charles James
1919 - 1980 Colin Rex
1923 - 1955 Hilda Margaret
1925 - 2010 Lois June

thank you all, it has been interesting piecing this family together
-
hilda may anderson
committed suicide the year she died
so far no trace or any record information,
i found out from a cousin tonight
-
That is sad. From what I can tell, the local newspapers (Barrier Daily and Barrier Mail) only go to 1954 on trove, so there won't be any reports of her death there.
A picture of her headstone here:
