I think I may have found her in 1911, Allan.

Farnborough, Hampshire

Mary Maxwell Cowie, wife, 36, born Liverpool - married 3 yrs, 1 child
Jessie Isobel Cowie, daughter, 2, born Inverness

They're living on an army base. Can't find the father yet.

There is a Jessie Isobel Cowie birth in 1908 on Scotland's People, but of course we don't know for sure whether it is the same person.

Edit - just seen Shona's post - so this looks very likely! Birth county is Inverness.

Just looking at the Scotland's People index, too. The 1908 birth is the only one that matches.

Don't think so, Allan.

There is a birth for an Alice M Cowie in Liverpool West Derby, 1912. Mother's maiden name is Lowman (from Ancestry). Could this be Jessie's sister? If so, Jessie was back in Liverpool as a three-year-old.

A Mary Maxwell Lowman was born in Liverpool on 15 Jan 1875, baptised at St Peter's, Liverpool, on 21 Jan 1875. Parents named as William Henry Lowman and Alice. From Family Search. This fits in with the place and date of birth indicated in the 1911 census.

Still looking for the father. Wonder if they married in Scotland? Will check SP for you.

Edit: Just seen Kiterunner's post - looks as if you've cracked it, KR.
