Early life

Hill was born in 1885 in Adelaide, South Australia, to Henry John Hill (known as John) and his wife Rebecca, née Saunders.[2] Hill was one of eight sons and eight daughters in a family that was heavily involved in cricket. His father scored a century (102 not out) for North Adelaide against the touring Kent County Cricket Club, reportedly the first century scored at the Adelaide Oval.[3] The third son, Clem, played 49 Tests for Australia. Five other brothers played for South Australia and in 1912–1913 there were several instances of three Hill brothers in the same representative team.[3]
