Thanks! :)
do you have anything that ties them with Helena Albertine Townsend? That is where I am missing the information. at this point it would be just a guess if Johanna Kornman and James Townsend were actually related. :(

Considering that in your initial post the names Townsend and Kornman are listed as the parents of Helena Albertine, it seems quite reasonable to assume that the couple James Edward Townsend and Johanna Wilhelmina Kornman are indeed her parents (it does need to be confirmed though). In the focusonline link there is no mention of a marriage between James Townsend and Johanna Kornman, nor of children, but maybe the people who made this just didn't have this information. I guess it is also possible that they never married, but did produce a child that was acknowledged by the father.
I found another site where Helena is listed, no parents/ancestors or children mentioned though.
www.ngv.nl/genealogie/getperson.php?personID=I2050&tree=AA120610
Maybe it would somehow be possible to trace children or grandchilderen of her son Frans Jansen in the USA to try and find out if they know anything.

My parents are decended from Helena (she is my great grand Oma, Unfortunatly Wilhelmus died quite young, and my mother never really knew him. I have an email to my aunt who was Helena's caretaker for many years, but I have not heard back from her yet. She is traveling (retired) with my uncle most of the time.
I think both Wilhelmus and Helena were born in indonesia, I know she was, and they married in indonesia, but indonesian records are hard to find. My mother and her eldest brothers and sister were all born in indonesia, too.
I emailed Mr. Cirkens to let him know about the linage of Helena to add to his tree if he wanted to, but even he didn't put Helena together with James and Johanna and couldn't give me any more information on wether they were actually related. I may just create a seperate tree for them until I can get proof.
Thanks again for all your help! :)

I emailed Werner Brühns today (the other website) to bring this thread under his attention. Perhaps he knows more.
Given the name Kornmann, plus that the family seems to have resided almost entirely in Padang, makes it unlikely that it wouldn't fit, I think.
You might try to obtain her certificate of death from America, that should provide the connection.
Found this one, in the mean time: http://gw5.geneanet.org/rvanderwal?lang=nl&m=N&v=TOWNSEND
Perhaps of use, who knows.

The source of the marriage is: Regeringsalmanak van Ned Indie 1815-1942.
Try to find the marriage act of Jansen- Townsend. I think that also in your neighbourhood there is a possibility to visit a familysearchcenter or to loan a familysearch film. You need filmnumber 172161.

Search at this page for the genealogy Kornman.. The couple Townsend-Kornmann is mentioned
However, founding father Frederik Willem Kornmann was born in Den Haag, according the Indische Navorscher 2004, page 63
129. F.W. Kornmann, adjudant-onderofficier, geboren te 's-Gravenhage, laatst gewoond hebbende te's-Gravenhage, overleden te Padang 12 dec. 1836.

I found them and it is as we thought. Johanna Wilhelmina Kornmand and James Edward Townsend are Helena's parents. I also go the names of Wilhelmus' parents as well.
Frans Jansen and Clementine Rosalia Zezula. :) I have alot of the backup documentation for their births and marriages now too. Amazing how much you can get once you get the right names matched up.

Deonizia,
Who were the parents of James Edward Townsend?
Frans Jansen was the owner of the Oranje Hotel in Padang abt 1910
