Hilda Ruth Conway born 1903 Dorset England

[queenswood 1]

I am trying to establish when Hilda left England and sailed to Australia. i know she married Wilfred West in Australia in 1927 but would love to know any details of her sailing passage. She was still in England on the 1911 Census and bearing in mind her date of birth I would imagine the sailing was between 1919 and 1927.

Many thanks

Caroline

Are you able to see the date of her marriage to wilfred Edward George West in 1927 in Australia please? And I wonder if they sailed to Australia together- or did he go out earlier?
Any help is so appreciated.

Thank you so very much.
One final question- is it possible to see when Wilfred (Edward George) West emigrated/sailed from England. He was born 1904 in Charminster, Dorchester Dorset.

Many many thanks

Hi Caroline
I can't see an emigration record for Wilfred E G as yet.

Thank you for looking! He may just have been listed as wilfred West or even just W West- his date of birth as 1904 Charminster/dorchester/ Dorset may be the clue.

thank you so very much
