Hello, Doris -- Your message was posted some time ago; I hope your email address is still current.
The Martha Billingsley you've inquired about is not the same one who was said to have been born in America.That person is her mother, also named Martha Billingsley, and I believe she might have spent a short time in America soon after her marriage.The Martha who is associated with Mr. Hentschel was born in Victoria (Morwell/Hazelwood) to George Billingsley and his wife Martha (nee Matson) Billingsley.The older Martha is my great aunt.She was born in Ireland and died in Victoria.I have not met the Billingsleys.I was born in W. Australia but have lived most of my life in the U.S.A.In searching for my Matson ancestors, I was able to find some in Victoria.I have info re: my great aunt's birth and death dates, and about her siblings and parents.That's as far back as I've been able to go.
