Helen Isabelle Gordon was born in April 1873, just three months after her father's death.

She married Graham Henry Whalley Nicholson, who was born on August 30, 1859. Together, they had two children: their first child, Cameron Gordon Graham Nicholson, was born on June 30, 1898, and their second son, Ronald Arran Graham Nicholson, was born on March 12, 1904.

Cameron later married Evelyn Odell. His younger brother, Ronald, served with the British Army during World War II, specifically with the 115th Field Regiment Royal Artillery in Burma. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.) on September 20, 1945.

Graham Nicholson was listed as a Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery in 1892 and rose to the rank of Colonel by 1922. He was mentioned in the 1922 Birthday Honours and was decorated as a Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint George and Saint Michael.

Graham Nicholson passed away on February 1, 1946, and Helen died on October 23, 1961, in Kent, England. She was the last surviving member of Major family.
