Burt Hillman 1954

Thank you Ost

Good detective work Hack. I like your theory.

Thank you

I think it might be Burt Hillary, a Canadian from Toronto, here from August to December 1954. Here in with Charlie Fisher at the Royal Albert Hall. Jack Wentworth of Toronto was here at the same time, so likely to have travelled together.

Now here's a theory. No proof, but a good guess I reckon.

When Jack Wentworth (real name Alfred Hodgson) left Britain on the Mauretania on 15th December, 1954 he was not travelling alone. On his visit to Britain he had been accompanied by his son, Robert Hodgson. Robert Hodgson stated his occupation as "wrestler." Now I can't find any Wentworth (other than Jackson), Bob or Robert Hodgson wrestling in Britain, and no one with the surname Hillary travelled on the Mauretania. I reckon that Burt Hillary was the son of Jack Wentworth.
