Hilda Bertha married Benjamin Hollins in 1908 in Staffordshire^[5]

Research Notes

• Hilda was assumed to be living at the same address as her husband in 1935, as she was living with him in 1939.

In the 1939 register Hilda gave the correct day/month of birth of 1st November but had the year recorded as 1895, making herself 6 years younger, probably as her 2nd husband William was so much younger than Hilda, having been born in 1900 and being nearly 11 years younger than Hilda.
