Princess Helen Lydia Kamakaeha Liliuokalani Kawānanakoa (c. 1905–1969), was the second daughter of Prince David Kawānanakoa
born during his marriage with Princess Abigail Wahiikaahuula Campbell Kawānanakoa
. According to some she became the head of the House of Kawānanakoa
upon the death of her elder brother Edward D. Kawānanakoa
on May 20, 1953 while some believe it was her elder sister Princess Abigail Kapiolani Kawānanakoa
. Basically the House of Kawānanakoa had split into two by 1953. Some support Princess Lydia, the younger of the two princesses, because her eldest sister, Abigail's, legitimacy has been questioned even by both the girls' father, Prince David Kawānanakoa.
Lydia Kawānanakoa was named after her great-aunt, Queen Liliuokalani, from whom the family inherited the pretending throne of Hawaii. Princess Lydia married five times: first to Dr. William Jeremiah Ellerbrock on January 17, 1925 at Honolulu. Her second marriage was to Charles James Brenham at Niu, August 11, 1928.
