That's the first time a middle name has been mentioned (Cedrics army papers) I wonder whether it help track her down.

I was being a complete wally and not looking at the fact that the names quoted are the first and last on the page and not that there are only two people in each quarter that match......it's been a long day. I have found it now

Well there is some new information from Cedric's birth and death certificates; Helena's maiden name was Bourke which seems generally to be an Irish derived name from what I have read. I can't find anything for a Helena Bourke, born in Singapore around 1864 but I will post something under "Singapore" and see if I have any luck there.

I also have found more info about Cedric's daughter, including a recent address but as her and her husband are likely to still be alive I will leave them off the public forum now, though I would love to get in touch with her.
