Hilda May KELLY

  General Notes:

Hilda and May were recorded as sisters by HC Millington at Arthur William Kelly's Death in 1965. The only Hilda Kelly was born on 14 May 1891 to George William Kelly and Eliza Moore in Hobart. There are two May's one a Mary May Kelly born to the same parents above. It would seem likely that Arthur William Kelly also had the same parents but his birth certificate indicates he was born to Eliza Moore before she was married. DNA matches however show he was a Kelly.

George William Kelly and Eliza Moore were married on 31 Dec 1981 in Hobart 702/1981 RGD 37. George William Kelly was born 24 July 1859 with Father John and Mother Caroline Wallington in Hobart 2702/1859 RGD 33. This couple had 8 children.

Hilda was younger than Arthur and never married. There was a story of being mistreated when she was young by her father. Hilda moved to the Mornington Peninsula possibly Frankston or Rosebud and changed her name to Gibson.

By 1972 she had changed her name and was living in Dromana, Victoria. She was there between 1972 and 1980 according to the electrol rolls.
