What do you think guys??

Nellie Joan 1892 father Mr Joan a traveller married Albert Best 1890 23/12/1911 both of South Mersham Surrey his dad James Best

She had Ellen P E Best 1912 Surrey
Lovell James Best nee Jones? 1916 Bromley
Leonard N best nee Joan 1917 Bromley
Ernest D Best 1919 nee Joan Bromley

I think there were others aswell.
Nellie is a nickname for Helen.

I think she changed her name as Albert didn't die before she married Mr Walker!!

Sorry 1929 her last name was carter.
Helen passed away in 1942 in Christchurch
but as i said i think she changed her last name due to an ex partner.

Helen was born 1892 but i dont know were. thanks for the help.

I have been told she had half brothers and sister Henry and jessie Foreman and a brother Thomas not sure of his last name. Helen was the youngest.

do you know when helen carter was born and where?

Family, but i have my doubts. I sent for Helens marriage certificate and her daughters, and fathers name comes back as john carter for both.
I have asked a few questions with the older family but they just say its in the past and it should stay there.

Have you purchased Helen's MC? She might have named her father which could lead to her original birth surname.

how do you know his mother is helen carter if you cant find a birth for him?

Thats the one i found as thats the only Lovell James that i can find with the same month and year of birth, but thanks for looking

dont think its this one mother is jones

Marriages Dec 1927 (>99%)

Even if Joseph was known as John (middle name?) Helen is an interesting derivation from Enid
