Australia Lookups completed / Re: Hilda Varley
« on: Monday 20 December 10 09:19 GMT (UK) »
Hello Freeman,
I wonder how much further you have got on this line of research since you lasted posted? I have not posted on RootsChat before. However I can add significantly to information on Hilda Winifred Varney (nee Willmott), Anne Constance (Connie) Walsh and Doris Mercy Bennett - they were respectively my great-aunts and grandmother. RE Templestowe: Hilda and Connie were both buried at Templestowe; some of the ashes of Doris and her husband, Jack were interred there much later by my father Bob Bennett. Jack was cremated and his ashes were kept by my grandmother until she died in 1980.
Hilda decided to join her sisters in Australia after Connie's husband died. They initially rented in Heidleberg before moving to Guildford Road. Later the 3 sisters lived briefly together in my grandmother's house at 25 Corhampton Road, North Balwyn until Connie died. You mention Hilda being your aunt and I am wondering if you are s descendent from the White or Willmott side of the family.
I have a lot of information about the families and many photos.
I look forward to hearing from you. Susan
