She was born in 1899 to Margaret (Maggie) Swanston Walker (Nee Turnbull) Her father was Alexander Trotter. Her grandparents would have been Robert and Margaret Turnbull, they lived in Cavers , Roxburgh. She was placed in an orphanage in Edinburgh as her mother was not married to her father so I don't know if any of the Turnbulls were aware of her birth? I can't find any details of her in the 1901 census although I have her birth certificate, which is dated 5th July 1899. Maggie (her mother) died in 1901 in Edinburgh whilst living with her sister-in-law Helen Turnbull and son James Mercer Walker. I didn't get to know my grandmother as she died in 1966 (the year I was born) I have only heard the stories of what a lovely kind lady she was and would like to complete her life story if possible.
