    • According to the «b»1841 Scotland Census«/b» Hellen [note the spelling- transcription error] at age 25, was still living at home with her parents in Arbroath, Angus, Scotland.

      In the «b»1851 Scotland Census«/b» Helen's occupation is listed as "dress maker". The household consists of "mother" Janet Lundie 68, and some very mature children: Helen Lundie 38, James Lundie 36, Margaret Lundie 32, Jessie Lundie 31 and George Lundie 20.

      In «b»1855«/b» Helen, by then 42 yrs old, married«b» Andrew Gemlie«/b» a teacher in Arbroath, who was only 26 yrs old.

      In «b»1861 «/b»Andrew and Helen were in North Bute, village of Kamesburgh, living on Shore Street, where Andrew is recorded as a 31-year old "Congregational Teacher". Kamesburgh was renamed Port Bannatyne soon after this. Bute is an island west of Glasgow and East of the Isle of Arran.
