Census Records

Research Notes

Date of birth is uncertain - 1801 is from Census records, but Memorial indicates he was 71 when he died in 1869.

There is an 1834 marriage record for Alex'r Fenton to a Margaret Newland. No other records were located relating to Margaret. However, in the 1851 Census there is a 16-year-old daughter who is 8 years older than any other children in the family, which is suggestive of her being from a previous marriage.
