I am afraid I do not believe this Andrew is the same as your Andrew. I know of the Nigg-based Helen because I've come across her in my own research, but 'my' Helen reported in the 1861 Census she was born in Johnstone and it appears she never left Renfrewshire (there's a possibilty she followed her niece to Northern Ireland when her niece and new husband moved to Enniskillen during the 1870s - they later returned to Renfrewshire.)
