    • Janet had 3 illegitimate children before marrying John Melville: Elizabeth Walker Sturrock, father David Walker; Colin George Osler Sturrock, father unknown; and David Balla Sturrock, father Robert Balla.
      The identity of Jessie's father is not certain - it is suspected that Alexander was her legitimate father and her birth was, under Scottish law, legitimized by the subsequent marriage of her parents.
