EDIT - so Blanche MUST have been in Scotland by 1882 - and depending where she met the children's father - i.e. France or Scotland maybe earlier

I entered:

Blanche Victorine Roye in the free search facility. Most likely not her but worth sending an email

I know I tried to find her in 1881 Scotland census but couldnt. I did find John Downs living with a family called Onions

What was the relationship of Jane Fletcher on the 1891 census - if she had given the census infomation she may have known Blanche by her original name? Could there be a clue with this?
