Robert Leo Childs died 9 Sep 1983 New Hampshire. His obit mentions Cecelia Theresa. Find a grave shows his parents as Frederick and Josephine Schild.

Cecelia (1934-2015) was the wife of Lawrence William Mead when she died. She does not appear in any census. Cecelia previously married Robert William Graham 2 Aug 1952 Seabrook, New Hampshire. The marriage cert shows her parents as Robert L Childs and Cecelia V Cavanaugh.
Cecelia(mother) seems to have been born Cecelia Winnifred 24 Sep 1907 Massachusetts. Census records 1910-40 show her as Cecelia W/ Cecelia V and Cecelia. Her death record shows her as Cecelia V 5 Jan 2000 Boston. I can not find her in 1950. There does not seem to be any reliable record for Robert L Childs.

Added  Found Celia and Robert living together 1947 Boston

No marriage shown. Unable to read address of birth.
The 1911 census shows that Annie Jessie is the niece of Roderick Mackenzie. In 1901 Annie is shown as Friend and in 1891 she is shown as Boarder(3yrs). Her mother Jessie is shown as 14 yrs in 1891. Not good.

Birth record shows dob 18 Oct 1887 Inverness. Father was David Cunningham(Shepherd) and mother was Jessie Mackenzie(Domestic Servant). Tallies nicely with marriage record.

Thanks. I will have a look at your suggestions. The witnesses for Jessie at the marriage were Wm McLeod and Catherine Mackenzie

Ross & Cromarty / Trying to find the bride

Allan Campbell(28) married Jessie Ann Mackenzie Cunningham(24) 27 Sep 1912 Fodderty, Ross & Cromarty. Allan's parents were Alexander Campbell(Ploughman) and Catherine McDonald. Jessie's parents are shown as David Cunningham(farmer) and Jessie Ann Mackenzie. On the marriage record the bride's MacKenzie name has a line drawn through it.
I have found Allan in 1891 and 1901 but Jessie is a puzzle prior to the marriage. After the marriage the family moved to Ontario, Canada and lived in St Thomas where they are buried.   Some records show Jessie as Cunningham and some as McKenzie.
I have looked for Jessie birth 1887/88 both as Cunningham and Mc/MacKenzie with no luck. Same for census. Also looked for Cunningham/MacKenzie marriage with no luck.
Canadian records show Allan born 1884 and Jessie 1887. No birth record found for Allan

Assistance appreciated

I don't know how much of Ernest's info on the marriage cert is the truth and nothing but the truth but I can not find a trace of him anywhere. If his father really is William a marine engineer he could possibly be away at sea on census day but Ernest should show up on the 1901/11 census assuming he was born in England.
I also had a look at the 1940 Kensington death since Lilian remarried in 1940 but that death is not Lilian's husband

Lilian father was George Wilkins deceased house decorator. Ernest father was William Reynolds a Marine Engineer. It appears that this is my Lilian
