My guess is that Helga somehow obtained the Hat from Ingrid before the second curse (and probably before Ingrid made her way to the LWM prior to the first curse). During the second curse, Ingrid came back, found Helga living in Storybrooke, and has her kidnapped somewhere (along with Anna, and possibly Kristoff). However, before she could go back to the house, Belle and Gold had their squatters honeymoon, and Gold obtained the hat.

Another scenerio is that Helga and Ingrid were both banished to the LWM prior to the first curse (one willingly, the other not so much), and were pulled back to the FTL when Regina destroyed her curse (much as Baelfire and Hook were pulled back even though they were not part of the original curse). Which could also explain the house appearing with the second curse, since Helga (assuming it's Helga's house) would have been brought back with the second curse.

Emma and Elsa should probably check the census records to see if Helga came over. Your explanation is highly unlikely. First, Ingrid was already trapped in the Urn before the first curse so Helga being in SB is not possible as it doesn't even exist yet, more especially be able to go to a LWM. Moreover, Ingrid got the hat from Anna, and during this time it is highly likely that Helga is already dead as she was already looking for a replacement for Helga and Anna, because Helga is probably dead and Anna was the "odd woman out" which led her to stalk the Saviour. Finally, there are a lot of foreshadowing as to what happened to Helga. Ingrid keep mentioning that she was trapped because people didn't understand her and feared her. it is likely that what happened to Elsa and Anna during the animated film also happened between Helga and Ingrid, however, she was actually punished for it, probably people during Ingrid's time were less more understanding and less forgiving. We also already know from the episode of "Family Business" that Anna was held captive by the SQ.
