Hi Mike That has been my feeling for a number of years now. She was quite possibly the daughter of a Local girl by a Herring Fisherman. Or a Scottish fisher girl by a local fisherman. If I could just a little bit of a lead that doesn't hit the wall in the 1901 census. But I can't find it. I have disproved so many possibilities.
