Hilda Mabel Morris was born 14th June 1894 Port Pirie South Australia.
Parents Albert Edward Morris and Maud May Masefield Tilling.

It is believed she may have moved to Victoria with a gentleman friend and went into the hotel business.

Unfortunately this is the extent of my knowledge. If someone would be kind enough to see if they can find more information it would be greatly appreciated.

This has August as her birth

Hi Ginny.
Thanks so much for the information you have given me it is most appreciated. Yes it was August and not June - my mistake.

I just wish I could find her after her birth. She is my grand-mothers half sister and totally disappeared after she was about 20.

Hopefully something will turn up one day.

Cheers

Hi Lorraine.

Below is a possible...and food for thought., although i feel ""reasonably"" sure this is your Hilda MORRIS (Given the info you supplied..ie: "Moved to Victoria with a gentleman who was in the Hotel business"

You will notice in the 1936 Electorol Roll....Clifford WORT was a Hotelkeeper


Electorol roll Melbourne - Vic.1936
Name: Hilda Wort
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1936
State: Victoria
DISTRICT: Melbourne Ports
Subdistrict: Newport
60 Hudsons road
Living at same address Clifford Hanlon Wort Occ:( HotelKeeper )


Electorol roll Melbourne - Vic.1949
Name: Hilda Wort
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1949
State: Victoria
DISTRICT: Isaacs
Subdistrict: St Kilda
No. 4 - 27 Brighton road
Living at same address Clifford Hanlon Wort


Death Victoria: ( Hilda WORT )

Fathers name on this index was given as Albert MORRIS. ( Albert Edward perhaps? )
Mothers name is possibly a guess by imformant ( Hilda - UNKNOWN ) and possibly not known by whoever filled out the death cert, as they could not supply mothers maiden name either.

Surname: WORT
Given Names: Hilda
Father: Morris Albert
Mother: Hilda UK = Unknown
Death Place: RMOND ( Richmond - Melbourne)
Age: 56
Age Code:
Year: 1952
Reg Number: 11518
Event: D

Hilda's age (56) at time of death 1952 = birth c.1895 is most likely a guess also by imformant.

Cant see a marriage of Hilda MORRIS to Clifford WORT in Victoria.

Hi Tony,
Thankyou so much you have hit the nail on the head.
I believe that this is the correct one.
Her brother's daughter came to see me yeaterday and asked how the family tree was going and particularly if I had any news of Hilda.
Does the death show by any chance who the undertaker was?
I doubt it but thought I would ask.
Thanks again.
Loraine, Adelaide

Just to add:

Looking at the marriage index for Victoria it seems Clifford Hanlon WORT had married before in 1922 to Kathleen SHERRY but she died in 1928.

AS his first wife died in 1928, its also possible Hilda and Clifford may not have married?
Would need further checking.

Hi Loraine.

If you contact Springvale Cem. trust, they may be able to supply the information * Undertaker* ( if they have those records ? )

As Hilda died in Richmond Melbourne, there were many Undertakers around this area/suburb ( from memory ) as this is where i was born and grew up as a child. My family were also in the Hotel business.
