This garbed bit of computer-transcription is probably Alice's birth notice:

Listed with Helen M Chesser, William L Chesser, and William L Chesser junior:

Alice H Chesser
in the Aberdeen City and Former Counties of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Electoral Registers, 1832-1976
Name Alice H Chesser
Record Type Electoral Roll
Residence Date 1965
Street Address Abbotshall Drive, Cults 33
Residence Place Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Parliamentary Division Parliamentary County of Aberdeen; Kincardine: Western Division

If that's the same Alice, (and she seems to be the only Alice H Chesser ever to be recorded as born in Aberdeenshire) this is her parents' marriage:

CHESSER, WILLIAM LORIMER
MAITLAND, HELEN MARY
1915
168 / 3 / 173
Rubislaw


William was born 1889 in Aberdeen, mmn Milne. He died in 1967 in Peterculter West.

Helen Mary was born in 1889 in Aberdeen, and died in 1969 in Peterculter.

Alice's brother William was born in 1916 in Rubislaw reg district, and died in 1985 in Aberdeen.

William seems to be the only sibling.


Alice was still living at 33 Abbotshall Drive until at least 1975, by that time with only her brother.
Her brother doesn't appear to have married, either.

No death on SP, but one assumes Sue has got that far

There is no online record of that address having been sold, unless possibly in the last few months, so unless she was only renting, she may still be there.
She was living at that address since at least 2006.


ADDED:
Actually, she probably is/was renting. That building is a block of one-bedroom flats, originally meant for women aged over 60.

There isn’t anywhere else.

Unless you write a very carefully-worded letter to the last address the ONLY answer is buying the cert

Are you related?

Look for her birth reg on Scotland’s people. Free to search, but EVERYTHING else has to be paid for. It isn’t a subscription site

For such a recent event, your only option will be to buy the cert……no download available
