Thank you.
Yes it is the birth certificate of Aberdeen District of Old Machar Parish. It says Alexander's Buildings, Union Glen, Aberdeen. Date of birth 1896, mother is listed (Fanny Margaret McWilliam) but no father.
She was informally adopted (census shows her at age 4 -Rosanna Duncan McWilliam born 1896 with Martha and Andrew Clark, their 2 daughters-Mary Keith Clark and Christina Reid Clark, and another informally adopted boy-Harry P Mcdonald born 1895). Both Rose and Harry were registered in school under the Clark name. Later census only shows the two daughters and Rosanna. An earlier census (pre Rosanna) showed another boy-Robert R. Mutch b) 1889, I think from Kilmacolm Orphanage , Bridge of Weir.
I appreciate your suggestions and help.

It was suggested to me that Alexander's Buildings might be a poor house but I have found no evidence of that in my searchers.
