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

Canada Voters list address Hunter Street East Hamilton Ontario 1965
Miss Hilda Cowell nurse
Miss Norah Cowell stenographer

Might be a possibility
Still at the same address 1972
Miss Hilda Cowell retired
Miss Norah Cowell retired

There is a Hilda Mary Cowell and a Norah Cowell cemetery Wingham Huron County Ontario both in plot K ...Birth unknown and death unknown

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
