John married twice but his 1st wife Mary Mackenzie was mother to ALEXANDER' and his brother THOMAS b 1842. His 2nd wife Ann Henderson would have been mother to Mary Ann known as ANNIE , JAMES a seaman and DUNCAN also missing from our ken. I have lost track of THOMAS who on his father's death certificate on 1880 was at 6 Jeffreys Square ,London. In 1881 census he was with his siblings at 3 Wellington Square and at aged 23 a Commercial clerk. It seems that ALEXANDER had married and been widowed so Aunt Annie his half sister was keeping house and took on the raising of his daughter Mary Christina.With 3 tailors in the house they may have been running a drapery business there. Any bells ringing out there as we shake the branches of those trees?
