     Helen Turnbull was born on 6 Nov 1789 at Dykehead, Par. of Kirkandrews on Esk, CUL, ENG, IGI submission has Helen Turnbull to Walter Turnbull and Elizabeth Dixon with the place rather confusingly as Dykehead, Kirkandrews, Dumfries, Scotland, which I guess could cover all bases.2,3 She was christened on 22 Nov 1789 at Canonbie, DFS, SCT; an extracted record, it shows Helen as the dtr of Walter Turnbul and Elizabeth Dixon, (which fits with the patron submission for her birth and at least one of the places listed!).1
     As of 1811, Helen Turnbull was also known as Elenor.4 She witnessed the marriage of Robert Turnbull and Eleanor Scott on 28 Mar 1811 in Stapleton, CUL, ENG.4 Helen Turnbull is a potential duplicate of Eleanor Turnbull; ; one the dtr of Walter Turnbull and Elizabeth Dickson, the other the wife of Robert Kirkup. Certainly Eleanor/Helen is of an age to be the wife of Robert, and their children do have all the names of the usual suspects: Walter, Robert, Eleanor, John.5,3
