This conversation has prompted me to revisit the information I have for Mary Alice Snowdon. On one of the Census records I have, she showed her place of birth as Northumberland. On another, it was Scotland. On another, it was Plashetts, Northumberland, which is the village that lies under Kielder reservoir.
For some reason, years ago, I accepted Scotland as being correct. I may have been wrong to do so. I have searched on familysearch.org and there is a Mary Alice Snowdon, born in 1869. Her birthplace is shown as Bellingham, which is close to Plashetts.
Have I been incorrect for all these years? Why did I accept Scotland as being correct?
