Helene Maria Clara, born 1870. She married Matthew Hawkins and had Alfred & Gertrude Ellen Nell˙ Hawkins. I've found nothing else on these.

I've managed to find that at least the two children came to England. Alfred is on the 1911 census in Leeds and Gertrude is on the 1939. They both married and Alfred had children. I'm not sure about Gertrude yet. She was accused of having an affair in the 30s. Alfred died in Skipton and Gertrude in Keighley.

I think I can assume Matthew was English? He's a very English name. I'd like to know if maybe they came to England too.
I've now found Matthew's remarriage in 1925 and him on the 1939 and his death. All in Skipton. Also Ellen Mary Clara Hawkins died in 1920 in Skipton. I can't find Matthew and/or Ellen in 1911 or Gertrude so I'm assuming they came over between 1911 and 1917 when Gertrude had her first marriage.
