A bit odd then ??? ..You would think on her marriage certificate she would have  known who her parents were ...unless as I said she was illegitimate and her mother Elizabeth Drummond died

Hi Rosie
Yes I would have though that the marriage record would be right with her sister Ann Elder as a witness, The other though I had was that the 1854 birth date could be a fudge and maybe she was born a bit earlier before the marriage of David and Annie in 1853. So far I have not found a birth record for Helen or any info on Elizabeth Drummond in the Opr's or official records.

We would agree about the marriage being the right one ...wonder where the middle name of Taylor comes from  ???..
