Trying to find McLaughlin

My Grandmother was called Eleanor McLaughlin (known as Lena). She was born between 1898 and 1900 in Scotland (possibly Glasgow) Her mother was unmarried (her fiance was killed before Lena was born) and died when Lena was about 5. We think she lived in a children's home for a short while and later was fostered by distant relatives. She ran away to London when she was about 16 where she became a dancer, later marrying George Rowden with whom she had one son Kenneth. Her marriage to George broke down and she later had a daughter, Maureen Eleanor Stewart with William (Bill) Stewart. She live in and around Beckenham until she died in 1952. Any information about her parents, or any relations would be very much appreciated.
