Notes – Helen Cassidy Parsons was born to Margaret (nee Phipps) and James Parsons in May 1906 at Taroom, but due to the council records being dodgy, it has the 1st of the 1st which has a 1 in 365 chance of being right.

Her mother Margaret died at Miles in 1921. Helen had three brothers David , Mark and Kennith  Henry and sisters of Agnes, Cathleen and Mary.

She Married Charles McDonald White on the 24th April, 1925. Their wedding certificate has her name as Cassidy Ellen not Helen Cassidy. Charles had enlisted into WWI in the Norfolk Regiment, England.

Cassie as she was apparently known, had census records of 1928 Maranoa Yuelba – Charles (Carrier) Home duties, in 1930 at Roma, Charles (Fireman) Home duties and in 1932 at Clontarf, Millmerran Charles (Labourer) Helen Home Duties.

Helen has no heastone to mark her grave.
