Showing illegitimate children

I cannot find anywhere in the manual instructions on how to show an illegitimate child. Alice Williams married Robert Livesey and had a number of legitimate children by him. Well, fine. But three years before she married Robert she had a daughter, Ellen, father unknown. When I try to put Ellen into the tree, FTB wants to make her the daughter of Alice and Robert. That is not correct. When I try to unlink Robert, Alice is unlinked as well. What's the solution to this? Ellen was not adopted by Robert because she appears in censuses as "step-daughter" and under the name Williams, not Livesey. She was Ellen's child and only Ellen's child.
