Helen Eva, familiarly Eva, the sixth child and younger daughter of Peter Stuart Brown and Elizabeth Chapman, was born on 6th February 1885 at 11h 30m am at 2, Glenbank Terrace, Lenzie, in the Western District of Cadder, Lanarkshire. The informant was ‘P. Stuart-Brown’, the child’s father, who was present at the time of birth. ‘H. E. Stuart Brown’ was a spinster, aged 26, at the time of her marriage to Matthew B. Baird Jr on 28th September 1911. She was usually resident at Auchengrange, Lochwinnoch. Under the terms of her late father’s 1907 Trust Deed and Settlement, in which she was named as a beneficiary, Helen Eva stood to inherit an equal share in her father’s estate, along with her three brothers, Henry, Charles and George, and sister, Elizabeth, on their mother’s death in 1927.
