Hi, from what I can gather from census records, both James & Elizabeth were born in PEI -- James' family moved to Cumberland County before 1881.

I think the parents of James were James Helm b. 1822 PEI and Sarah Jane (last name unknown) b. 1825 Ireland.

James Helm, Sr.'s parents were Edgar William Helm & Mary Brine b. 1803, PEI -- Mary moved with James, Sr, and his family to Nova Scotia - census records shows her as a widow in 1881.

PEI has baptismal records available online.

You might also want to post on the PEI message board -- it looks like the Helms may have been from the Summerside/Linkletter area.

Hope this is somewhat helpful!

Hi, according to a family tree on Ancestry Elizabeth was born Elizabeth REILLY in New Brunswick on May 6, 1856. This is backed up by the 1901 census where she is listed as Lizzie Helm.
The ancestry tree states her death date as Dec. 25, 1936, Canada
Hope this helps

Elizabeth Riley/Reilly may have been born in New Brunswick -- both children Edgar and Helena were baptized in Port Elgin, NB although born in Tidnish, Cumberland County, NS.

Patrick Reilly was listed a godfather on Edgar's and Ellen Reilly listed as a godmother on Helena's. (John Reilly listed as father -- born 1790 Ireland)

On both birth certificates, it is indicated that their father James Helm was born in Prince Edward Island. If so, perhaps his mother Sarah Jane King may also have been from there.

There is a family -- Michael & Sarah King -- living on PEI who have a son Owen, but he would be too young to be Sarah Jane's father. Perhaps, Michael King was a brother??
