Hi - Helen Brown born 1860 Lesmahagow Scotland. Daughter of Thomas & Helen Scott Brown who came to NZ in 1868 and settled in Waikouaiti. She married Archibald Glendinning and had about 12 children. Can't see any children from second marriage. Helen was sister of my g-grandmother Jane.

Hi Althea
Helen Lindsay formerly Glendinning nee Brown is my GG Grandmother, being descended from her first marriage.
I see that some one has kindly viewed the will of Helen for you.
Would be interested in finding out more about our connection.
Kind regards
