Thanks Robert I will take your advice and try following Charles John Hill line, if no success then as you suggest the war memorial. stobo

Hello Stobo,
I have a photograph of a Cuthbertson Family gathering taken mid to late 1890's. I think I can point out Mary Ann and TCW Hill, I will send you a pm with my email address and if you want me to send you a copy reply me with your email address.

I have to do some more research on the family ANZAC's but I also have a copy of a family photo of a WW1 mounted soldier (no name) but the photo was taken in Hobart and TCW, enlisted in Melbourne so i don't think it is him.

I'll keep you up to date if I discover anything on the CJ Hill line.

Hello Stobo,
While looking for information on CJ Hill, I found even more sorrow for Mary Ann.

Just 10 days after the death of R.A.W. Hill at 13 mths of age it appears that she miscarried.

The Mercury Hobart, Tas. Friday 20 January 1882

The Mercury Hobart, Tas. Tuesday 17 March 1885
BIRTHS: HILL.-On Saturday, February 14, 1885, at Oatlands, the wife of Richard C. Hill, chemist: a daughter.

Some good news, I did find that CJ Hill married in 1883 Ida Evelyne Peddar  dob. 31/10/1863. they had a son Charles Pedder Hill 1893 Sorell, Tas.

But nothing from there, so far.

The more I delve into Mary Ann's life the more poignant it becomes, if nothing becomes of your search, I would be honoured to be custodian of her medallion.

Sandy bay.I will try finding out more about F. W. Barlow. Thanks once again Stobo

F W Barlow was Francis William BARLOW he married Beatrice Alice HILL 1911 in Victoria.
They returned to Tasmania by 1912 as there are births registered to them in Hobart from 1912 onwards.

Good find!
I was having trouble locating her I wrongly assumed that the F W was her initials.
Do you have a dob for Beatrice, and names and dob of their children.
