Helen may have been born Helen Rogers.

Helen ROGERS - 1908 - 644 / 17 / 578 - Gorbals.


Helen would be the illegitimate daughter of David and Jean.

Sandra

As per reply 1.  Helen was born and registered Helen Rogers.

[*Sandra*]

A couple of references to the parents of Jane, Jeannie or Christiana Jane. (Hillhouse Rogers/Rodgers)

The marriage cert names the parents of Jane as John Roger and Mary Wilson.
The birth of sister Mary - Mary Wilson Allison in 1914 - parents David and Jane Allison. Married John McManus and passed in 2005 London Ontario.  Obit 29 April 2005 USA.

A brother William referenced in a post some where above was William Rodger Allison. Slightly different version of Roger/Rodgers.

Some food for thought…

1912 passenger arrivals (image on ancestry).

Jeanie Allison 25 married, destiation London Ontario, going to husband (no name given but has possible occupation an Iron + something worker?), Presbyterian.
And Helen age 2 - doesn’t match ages given later but…
The two arrived St John New Brunswick 06 Feb 1912 which would have given Jeanie just about enough time to travel to London by train to marry David Allison on the 9th of Feb as a single woman.

This looks like David in the 1911 census indexed as Albinson (courtesy of Library and Archives Canada). He is living with his brother Alexander and all are apparently living with Alexander’s in-laws. Alexander’s marriage cert (1909 Ontario) has his name as Allison and parents appear to match those of David in his later marriage.

The key word here is that David is working in a foundry in 1911 which would potentially match the iron + something stated on the above passenger list.

So, did Jeanie say she was married to make it easier for her to come to Canada? Or is this someone else? Anyway, food for thought.
