Biographical notes:


2nd daughter of Sir Hans Heysen of Hahndorf, SA, AUS. She was known as Freya all her life & did not realise she was registered as Elfreda until she applied for a passport in her 50s. At this time she also discovered that she had been celebrating her birthday on the wrong day all her life!
