HELENA ROBERTSON COMRIE

When we found Thomas and Barbara Robertson Warden's graves we found all about Barbara's sisters Jane and Helena! Helena's name has been written as "Ellen" which I have often seen the name Ellen in place of Helena and if you look closely at the two names and repeat the names you can see enumerators may have mixed up the two names. I think it is so neat that the three sisters are buried beside each other. Barbara died in 1899, Jane in 1908 and Helena in 1922 ; I do not believe Helena has any great grandchildren living today. William R Comrie had two daughters but have not found a marriage for them. It looks like our Warden descendants are the only living family members ; however, if there is anyone out there related to Helena Robertson Comrie please send me an email. I would be ecstatic hearing from you!

This shows the three Robertson sisters and the three Comrie sisters

We have markers for William F, Helena and Addie

My question ; was Thomas buried here in 1875 and if so was there an original monument?

Barbara and Jane monuments(tombstone says Jean but Grandpa Geo and Great Uncle Charles called her Jane)I believe Jean Comrie may have called Aunt Jean thinking she was named for her? Would love to hear from descendants of William Comrie youngest son of Helena Robertson Comrie or someone who may know about William's wife and two daughters
