dear celia,
helen blake, nee sheridan,was not born in county mayo according to the documentation that i have in my possession
which gives her birth place, and her perants could not be john and ellen from aughavale. i know the names of helens siblings of which a catherine is one of them.
Helen, ellen, (helena which is the latin name} and so on is a common name and there are many people who claim that helen sheridan,of which there are many, that the helen sheridan in question belongs to their family. the many stories told about helen sheridan down through the years
since the time of her death in 1876 seem to me to be, so far,heresay and fictional like the one of helen singing in a farmyard and robert dudley blake on horseback happened to be riding by heard her beautful voice,and that is one version of how they met.I admit it is possible that there is truth in one of these stories.
with best wishes, leo
