Rose Ann Smith (nee McAllister) was at the address(Kingswell Lane) in 1940(Valuation Roll).
Think she would have been about 52 in 1944(died in 1949 ?).

Good evening Ev, yes the child was born out of wedlock and my grandmother was a domestic so I assume this Mrs R A Smith was looking after the child up until she died, she was only 15 months old.

You’ve probably answered your own question.  :)  Someone may know if there is a way you can find out whether this was a temporary or long term arrangement.

Can you possibly transcribe all info. in the column for the informant?

Rose Ann Smith (nee McAllister) was at the address(Kingswell Lane) in 1940(Valuation Roll).
Think she would have been about 52 in 1944(died in 1949 ?).

It would be worth looking at the info. provided above.

Sometimes the occupation is entered in the VRs (closer to your timescale) but the DC would give an occ. if she had one at the time of her death if known to the informant.

Might she be related to the father of the 'child'?
