Hi Kirsteen

For what it's worth, the IGI only records one birth where the
surname="WILL" for Aberdour in the period 1698-1854,
film no C111692. It is indexed as "Jean WILL or LEGGAT"
which is their way of indicating illegitimacy.

There are a few BURNETTs but no Helen so she apparently
wasn't registered under her mother's name.

Have you found Helen's Death Certificate? Scotland's People
has 2 records: "Helen WILL born 1825-31, died Aberdeenshire".
I doubt if these are necessarily yours as there are none in the
period 1826-30. There are 6 in the period 1818-38. I haven't
looked at the Hit-lists or the images - but it might be worth
a look if you feel like using up 11 credits.

Best wishes

Ray
