I have recently found out that my mums nan Helen McAllister had an illegitimate child Alexandra Willimina MacAllister in 1908 Govan Lanarkshire, Helen McAllister went onto marry a Robert Higgins Savage in 1910 Govan Lanarkshire and 3 more children one of them was my nan. I came across Alexandra in the 1911 census living with her grandparents Archibald and Jessie.
I know Alexandra Willimina went on to marry a John William Newing who was from Canterbury in Kent and in the Navy in 1942 in Lochgilphead Argyll. I know John William Newing died in 1983 in Currie Scotland and Alexandra Willimina died in 2007 in Currie Edinburgh her son John was present he also lived in Edinburgh.
I am not sure due to not having access to census further than 1911 if Alexandra stayed with her grandparents. Would love to learn more about her.
I know its a long shot as I didn't even know about her until I found census and I never heard my mum talking about an Alexandra.
Many thanks
I would love to hear from anyone if they recognize any of the names.
