Trying to find Scott

I am trying to find relatives of LILIAN CLARA SCOTT, the natural mother of my mother. I do not have a birthdate for her, but know that she married BERNARD EDWIN BLAGDEN, who was in the Northumberland Fusiliers 8th Bn, and who died on 19 August 1915 in the Gallipoli campaign. At that time, Lilian Clara lived at 1 Springfield Street, Basford, Nottingham. She gave birth to my mother, ISOBEL AGNES on 18th February 1918 in Edinburgh; Bernard Blagden was named as the father on the birth certificate, and described as a Lace Machineman. Lilian Clara then apparently married again to become Lilian Clara WARRINGTON. My mother was brought up by Agnes ROBERTSON (nee Caldwell) and her husband Percival Edgar. I am exploring the possibility that their son, ERIC ROBERTSON (born c. 1899) may have been my mother's father.

It may be unconnected but I am searching for information on my father (Edwin H Robertson born 1912 in West Ham) and the online Birth records show that his mother's name was Scott.

Lillian C Scott married Bernard E Blagden in Shardlow in April-June 1913
Births in Shardlow
Ivan O Blagdon 1914
Lilian M Blagdon 1915
Mothers maiden name Scott

If you order Lillian and Bernard's marriage certficate you will get her age and her fathers name.
I noticed that on CWGC Lillian is stated to be "formerly" Blagden.
I think that means that they were divorced .
