Hi Deb,

It's Dee in disguise....

I've just looked at Alexanders marriage on Ancesrty, his fathers ccupation is a Shipwright and the witnesses are definately Cowell.

So let's try again.

I think I have found Alexander's Death Cert which says he died
in 1894 aged 64 so his birth year should have been 1830/1831

Can anybody help with his birth details

Thanks
Deb

thanks
Deb

Morning everyone
I had all three responces from the members who had Alexander King on their tree but unfortunally not one of them was the same. oh well.

I am quiet certain that the census Dee found yesterday was the correct family and it stated that Mary (Alex mother) was born in Scotland. So I still am unsure regarding Alexander's birth and also his Father (William) who we cant find on any census as the one's we have Mary is a Widow. I have had this problem on all sides of my family i get so far then i hit that brick wall again.

Thanks for all the input yesterday and if anybody has any more suggestions it will be gladly apprieciated.

Thanks again for all your help
Deb

Thanks Dee
ive just had a email from someone in Scotland who has a Alexander on his tree so i will have a look and let you know later
Thanks again

deb

Thanks Maureen
Just my luck but thanks for that. I have emailed the people who have a Alexander King on their tree as being born in Scotland so fingers crossed i may hit the jackpot
thanks for your time in this
Regard
Deb

Regarding finding them on the 1861 census-a lot of Woolwich is missing. (figures)

Maureen

Sorry forget that about her maidan name ive just got so carried away with all this I forgot i have it on her marriage cert ! doh anyway i still owe you a drink :) its mary's maidan name i need oops
thanks again
deb

Thanks Dee

Sorry to ask what was Nancy's Maidan name , as i dont know anything about her family or her brother George, and it does look like the Blacksmith's are in the family from Nancy;s side. and yes that is proberly how they met

Oh if you are ever in Greater London i think i need to buy you a drink for all your help you have given me
Thanks Again
Debbie

Hi Debbie,

It was just that the census in 1851 (which maybe him) stated Mary was from Scotland .............. and the more I think about it the name has a Scottish twang with it also????? Just a gut feeling aswell.


Ideally we would need to find them on the 1861 census and see if any parents are with them......... I've looked but can't see them, however we know both the boys were born in Kent, so Alexander and Nancy maybe in the area in 1861.


Just to add that I traced Nancy back and noticed her brother George was also a Blacksmith, I wonder if that's how Alexander and Nancy met????

Hi Dee

I have checked the tree's on this site and their is a couple of Alexander King's born in Scotland one in East Lothian 1832 and the other in Renfrew 1831 I will send them a email and just see if is gives me any leads. Sorry did you get what part of Scotland you think he may have come from
Regards
Deb

Hi Dee

Well I don't know what to say never in a million years did i think that, wow that has completely thrown me
Thanks
Deb

Hi Debbie,

I'm starting to think that maybe Alexander was born in Scotland????????
