it is easy to get confused when the names are so similar Mary Ellen is the daughter of Elizabeth Wiseman Gatt & David Smith , the gr dau of William Gatt b 1879.  she is possibly still living  in or near Edinburgh so I hear.       
 Mary Helen arrived in Australia 1926 as a baby with her Parents John Alexander Gatt &
Catherine Bruce , she is still with us but not interested in the past.

I found William Taylor Buchan & his mother Helen Buchan .
