I have just got back from a few days away and found all this extra info -- thanks to Sandra for her work

I will review it all over the next few days and see how it all fits in to what I already know

Hi,
Ethel Helps, was she born in Wiltshire, in a place called Bradford in 1888 - 1891?
I have seen the ship record stating 1891 as her birth year.
Also seen other info with a birth year of 1888.

No
My Ethel was born in Truro, Cornwall in 1879. Her parents were  William James Helps & Sarah Elizabeth Cope

This is rather bizarre.... Findagrave has two entries for Eva and George.

Enlarged grave photo here:  https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2017/325/185375226_12777026-1947-49a8-b746-8990f6058643.jpeg

Main page here, saying they are buried in a different state:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185375226/eva-m-helps

Mystery solved -- the burial ground is actually in the two different states:
"The main entrance to the cemetery is in Haverhill, Massachusetts, however the majority of the cemetery is over the border in Plaistow, New Hampshire."

So, as the photo is on the Massachusets entry and not on the New Hampshire entry, and as other sources such as the birthplace of some of the King family is Massachusetts, I will presume that the Helps family were from the Massachusetts side of the border unless I find some proof otherwise
