  • Notes 
    • I never heard mention of George before today (18 Nov 2015-DB). It makes me wonder if he was an illegitimate child - a product of a liaison between Helen and someone else while Harold was at sea. Perhaps the man in whose household he appears in 1930, Harry W. Heath, whom she married later?
