You're very welcome John.  Didn't want to complicate the query for you but the background to Jane may be interesting.  Wondered how "Hillhouse" came to be a middle name used on the marriage ?

Sandra, the Helen Rogers born 1908 Gorbals was actually recorded as Wallace and the illegitimate daughter of Helen Rogers and James Wallace as I have the birth certificate.

I've had a reply from the London Library and it seems that they're no wiser than the rest of us. I can't find a birth cert for Helen in Scotland in either Allison or Rogers?
A completely mysterious lady.

That is a coincidence because Wallace was the maiden name of John Rodger/Roger's mother, Margaret !!

William Roger and Margaret Wallace did have a son James Wallace born 1872 (brother of John)
