Research Notes

• The 1881 Census indicates Alexander's mother to be Anne, b. 1843 in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. The GRO Reference from 1872 states mother's maiden name as Simpson; however, no death records have yet to be found so she has not been included in the profile at this point.
• Exact dates were already on the profile but no sources have been found to confirm them.
