Viv,
Thank you again, this is much appreciated,
I will look for marraige for Alexander with surname MORE, and the 2nd Jessie born in Maryhill looks promising as Alexanders sister's children were all born in Maryhill, fingers crossed.

best wishes

It Is the second one.
Mother and father are correct and so is Alexanders occupation.

It says on her birth cert they married 12th july 1901.

I had to look ,I hate not knowing when I have started.

A middle name could well have been added at baptism,it often was.

This is definately the family that was on the Canadian census and the Passenger lists that I have put up.
And on the passenger lists he has the middle initial of R.

If its not I will eat my HAT!

Edit,,,and become a nun!

Viv,
I don't know what to say , It's not my Alexander, I am really sorry, but thank you so much for your time.
By the way I found the joke funny, is that naughty of me ?

My Alexander's parents were Henry and Margaret.
