Helene was born in Marsberg on October 11 1891. On 5 September 1913, Helene married Hugo Cosmann, born 9 October 1879 in Essen and a resident of Gotha. She emigrated to England in the thirties with her husband who was at the time an industrialist from Dusseldorf (steel), with their two children : a son named Cormelius who then went on to the US (now dead), and a daughter, Milein. She became quite a famous artist, specialising in the portrait of musicians. She herself married Hans Keller, a Viennese violinist and musicologist, who taught chamber music (quartet) and became the director of the third programme (classical music) of the BBC. He was also a very well read amateur psychologist and wrote occasional football columns - a brilliant and gifted man.
