Mary King c1895

Mary was Harry's mother but there is some mystery about her name. The story was that she married someone called Algernon Dodson but somehow he left the picture and she reverted to her maiden name. My skeptical mother-in-law told me this story believing (I think) that he was illegitimate. According to her, this side of the family considered themselves "a cut above" so it probably mildly galled her.
I have done some fairly surface searches for Algernon but have never come up with anything. For all I know it could be a true story - one more thing to do when I have time! Born in the early 1870s to James and Mary (Polly) King.

One of my children's Great Great Grandmothers.
