Hi Yvonne,

I looked at Ian Marr's cemetery index as Allan mentioned and found at
Casterton Cemetery:- James Hill born C1830 died 1/4/1915 aged 85 years
father of Mary and Clarence.
Also Jane Hill born C1848 died 19/2/1922 mother of Mary and Clarence.

I looked up the deaths for them and found:- Jane Hill mother Harriet Wright
father ? Hook
James Hill parents unknown.

Vic BDM
Mary Jane Hill died aged 37 in 1908 at Casterton. Parents James Hill and
Jane Hook

Hope this helps,

regards,
Lorene
