Astra, Helens nephew told me she married Askew and had the 2 sons, he has them on his Tree.

Astra

Astra Report 16 Nov 2010 14:22

I don't think that is her. I have found her travel details and she went over in 1907 with her mother Sarah and Brother Robert. They were travelling to Brooklyn to Robert Senior.
I'm not sure if the one who married Anthony Askew is yours either unless you have definite proof that it is.

Astra, thank you for your help. I don't have Edward or any of the others on your list as siblings?
I have Robert, Henrietta, William, Dugald and Allan.

Her parents and siblings then went onto Australia in 1928.
Helen stayed and married an American with the surname "Askew" they had 2 sons, James and Walter and possibly a daughter.

I would be really grateful for any info on Helen, her husband and children, please.
