Sorry if I am silly but I don't know what RCE is. For a bit of background the person in question lost her mother when she was approx 4 years old but she did not live with her Father after that and was raised by extended family.Would this fit?

Had another look at the address and instead of 252 Arthur Street it might possibly be 52. Would that make more sense?

Would that have been part of the St. Giles Parish?

The Edinburgh address for James Docherty Brownlie in 1953 DC was 252 Arthur Street, that is if I am reading the handwriting correctly.

Yes, I also got a copy of Annie's Marriage cert to James McConnell in 1933 and same as you, noted she said her Father was deceased. Sad and like you I also wondered if family ties had been severed. One of Annie's earliest memories, which she related in later life, was when she was about 5, she remembered living with Auntie Annie and her three oldest children, whose names match exactly with those of the oldest children of my paternal Grandparents. My paternal Grandfather and Annie's Father were half brothers. No trace of Annie from her early childhood until her marriage in 1933 but from the Lanarkshire/Glasgow areas doubt if she travelled very far. I also noted no occupation given for Annie on her MC, perhaps in service? Just when I thought I was done with mysteries but as Hercule said it keeps the little grey cells ticking over. Not much else to do at this time.

Many thanks for all your assistance. I know about Annie's family after her marriage to James McConnell and they went on to have 14 children. In the 1950's one half of the family went to Australia, including Annie and James, whilst the remaining half of the children emigrated to Canada. It is a distant relative in Canada whom I am trying to assist.
The Edinburgh address might be a possibility as Mary's Father's second address on his DC is given as Edinburgh, the first is sadly a Lunatic Asylum in Stirling. I cannot wait until 1921 census is published when some of my bits of paper might make some sense. In the meantime I'll plough on. By the way my relative in Canada, especially, really appreciates all of your wisdom. Her late Grandmother Annie, always wondered whether she had any siblings too late for Annie but the rest of the family now know some of the history.
Many thanks, once again and I'll keep you up to date with any further information.

The baby's name was Mary Brownlie, daughter of James and Janet (Rintoul) Brownlie. Mary's date of birth was 4th October 1919 and registered by her mother on 13th October 1919 in the parish of Dalziel, Lanarkshire. As I said Mary had an older sister, Annie born 26th December 1915. Home address same in both cases. Father's occupation is given as 1) Miner 2) Private 2nd Battalion Scots Rifles. Sadly Mary's mother, Janet, died six months after her birth. Her Father remarried the next year but did not take Annie with him, she was raised by extended family. So really puzzled as to Mary's fate.
The same name of the Registrar who recorded Mary's birth matches that of the "Adoption" notation.
Any pointers would be gratefully received as usual

Now I am totally confused. From tracing this family I have discovered that there was an older child but the baby was registered by Mother. Also given later developments it is conceivable that the marriage of the parents had already broken down. Is it possible that the baby was adopted by family members. The older child was raised by Aunt and Uncle but no sign of the baby there.
