Also from SP,
she married 1872 in Towie, Aberdeen.

I've not downloaded the full record of this.

[daval57]

I've gone back over 1841 1851 census but can't find her anywhere under either Cobb or Glennie.

Maybe someone else will have more luck.

I've not looked beyond 1871 census as she was married 1872.

Hi Dave,

I take it you mean 1851 census, as she was born 1849. This looks like her with her Cobb grandparents - seems likely that Alexander did accept paternity of her.

I did indeed.
Good find. 
That's me forgetting spelling variants again.
