What a fantastic summary you have done 
So there was a change of father's name for Ellen as we thought from what you have posted earlier with the reference father in law W(illiam) Cameron regarding Eric's funeral.
I do think that the marriage and 1890 - 1911 census entries we have for the Higgings family is Ellen's family, even more so now with your additional reference to a daughter Matilda who also shows in the Higgins household in 1911 at the right age. For this family we tick the boxes on father's first name, mother's full name and Alexander/Ellen/Matilda. Also from that 1911 entry we have William Cameron, right age, living with the Higgins family and showing as a relative born in Scotland.
I suppose one last check would be for those Cameron/Kelso births we found on FreeBmd. At a guess I would say that these at least would show father as William Cameron and Matilda Kelso and possible at Margaret Street given the District of the last birth.
But William was not Ellen's father, he would look to be from what we have David Higgins. As to what happened to David Higgins, not sure. Can't see easily see a marriage for William and Matilda so maybe a possibility that they didn't marry (if David Higgins had not died at this point perhaps?).
Great work Nelbec

BIG gold stars to you both and then double it.I cannot thank you both enough for going to all of this trouble for me. Both explanations given by you certainly make a lot of sense and would explain why it has been so difficult finding nans birth certificate or register and the marriage certificate for Matilda and who ever else she partnered up with/ When I get home (Or, maybe that should be, if I get home from hospital I am going to endeavour to locate both of the forementioned articles.
I cannot believe how all encompassing this geneology business is ..after all, it is now 2 am and I am sitting up in my hospital bed doing this in the dark.
You may be pleased to know that I am going to follow my grandad's trail as well, which hopefully wont be so mysterious. The biggest problem therre is that for the past 5 generations, the senior male name has been Alexander Reid and yes, he was born in Scotland too! Many thanks again for all of your help. x x

Just concentrate on getting better Heather You did make me laugh though with the idea of you on your laptop in your hospital bed at 2.00 am catching up!
Just one more thing now to give David Higgins his place in all of this. Parents show on the marriage entry to Matilda Kelso as Alexander Higgins and Mary McKendrick (or McKendry/ McKindry - lots of variants for this surname).
1. AGNES HIGGINS Birth: 30 SEP 1863 Old Monkland, Lanark
2. CATHERINE HIGGINS Birth: 09 MAR 1865 Old Monkland, Lanark
3. ALEXANDER HIGGINS Birth: 26 JUN 1866 Old Monkland, Lanark
4. DAVID HIGGIANS Birth:25 FEB 1870 Kilmacolm, Renfrew
5. HELEN HIGGINS Birth: 18 JUN 1872 Middle-East-West Parishes, Greenock, Renfrew
6. MARGARET HIGGINS Birth: 04 JAN 1874 Middle Or New Parish, Greenock, Renfrew
Parents' marriage shows on 16 APR 1861 in Old Kilpatrick, Dunbarton.
Big family by 1881:
Alexander Higgins 42, Foreman Town Cleansing Depart, b. Insch Parish, Wigtonshire
Mary Higgins 43, b. Ireland
Catherine Higgins 16
Alexander Higgins 14
John Higgins 12
David Higgins 11, b. Kilmalcolm, Renfrewshire
Helen Higgins 8
Margaret Higgins7
James Higgins 5
William Higgins 3
Robert Cameron 21, son in law, general labourer, b. Girvan, Ayrshire....I wonder if he had a brother called William!
Mary Ann Cameron (Higgins) 20, daughter, b. Duntocher, Dumbartonshire
Address: 84 Drumfrochar Rd, Greenock Middle
Something to work from on this line

I found the photograph in the Widnes library archive department. The Widnes Weekly News micro film for around March/April of 1954. I took a copy but it did not turn out good enough to copy again.
