Helen was a daughter of John Doughty & Mary Gambles.
Her father was with the 65th Regiment of Foot. The 65th left Gravesend in Sep 1845 as guards on a convict ship to Tasmania. He took his leave of the 65th in NZ in 1849
* At the age of 15 Helen apparently had a son, Henry Doughty, but his registration not found to date. After his death in 1902 his probate was granted to two of Helen's brothers who were executors of his will. Maybe he was brought up by her parents and was treated as their brother?
