• Notes

  His marker says that he was born in 1911. However, the 1911 Census lists a brother Sedgwick, b. Apr 1911, age 1 month. Although the 1911 routinely gets years of birth wrong, this one looks to be accurate. Also, since we know he is named Hillary James (or James Hillary) and is usually referred to as Hillary, it seems unlikely that he would be referred to as Sedgwick. So it seems most likely that Hillary was actually born in 1912. [Bob H]
