Research Notes

Following note was on this profile, but the reference to Jane Miller is not seen anywhere in the sources. Alexander was married to Jane McAldie first and Helen Sutherland, 2nd.

• Alexander's son, Alexander Bain [b: 1880] and Jane Bruce Miller's marriage record does not indicate that Alexander [the father] was dead [although Helen his wife is shown as dead]. He seems to be dead by the 1911 census
