A Scottish rellie (a Church of Scotland minister as it happens) married his housekeeper and a few years later they had a son. Said lady is Nellie in the 1881 census before marriage, in 1882 at marriage, in 1889 at birth of son and in the 1891 and 1901 censuses. Yet I can't find a birth in that name on SP.
I have a few more avenues to explore, but in the meantime any ideas for alternative names please? Her middle name is Summers, which suggests a grandmother's surname. Her parents are both shown as deceased at her marriage. Her father was a Spirit merchant - shock, horror. No wonder they waited 6 months after his father died.
