Death
Caroline Frances ("Carry") Hilt died on 26 February 1917 at age ~70. The Brewarrina Burial Register gives her age as 84 years, implying a birth year of 1833. That would make her 53 years old when her twin daughters Jessie and Frances were born and 59 years old when her daughter Victoria was born, so it is extremely unlikely that she was as old as 84 years.4,5
