Nope, no luck. I could find just about every other John W. McGregor :(

Surely you would be better looking for Helen with a more uncommon first name rather than John. 

I presume you tried both FindMyPast & Ancestry   :-\

Are you using FindMyPast or Ancestry?

Sometimes surnames are mistranscribed. Creative searching can be fruitful!

You know her christian name is Helen, you know her year of birth and you know she was in Hornsey. Just search using those three facts and see what turns up.

I searched for both names and drew a blank; I don’t have FindMyPast so I used Ancestry.

Have you searched  for John W and Helen S in Hornsey on FindMyPast?

I see Jen and Rosie have suggested the same.

I don’t have FindMyPast so I’ll have to make do with Ancestry. It’s not a must-have; I have her christening details at least.

Have you done as I suggested?

Christian name only, year of birth only,  living in Hornsey?

I assure you, that should find her  :)
