She lived in Churchill Courts Shirley. Hilda's sister, Linda Soughagy, on the right, was born in Lyttelton on 25 April 1895, and also lived at Churchill Courts. Hilda lived to 102 and Linda to 100. Hilda lived her later years in Boyd cottage. These women were James and Hannah's daughters. June Dore (nee Harkess) is behind Hilda." - Contributor's note
