Biography

This profile is part of the Ogle Name Study.

Cyril Alexander was born 23 December 1890 in Kingston, Jamaica (British West Indies), as an English subject.[1] He immigrated to the US on 23 August 1902, and was naturalized in Baltimore, Maryland during 1922.[2][3] At that time he was already married to Mary [Moseley],[2][4] (b. est. 1892 Virginia).[5] She was the daughter of Eliza Mosley (b. est. 1875 Virginia, widow in 1920), and the sister of Clara Mosley (b. est. 1894 Virginia).[5]

Cyril had already filled out a WWI draft card, a few years before, in 1917.[1] It states that he was supporting his mother, wife and two children, in addition to giving his name, date and location of birth, English citizenship and physical description.[1] Cyril had a slim build of medium height, dark eyes and black hair.[1]

In 1921 he was part of the ship crew on the Weat Apaum, working as the cook. The ship appears to have departed from Baltimore and made a stop at Liverpool, Lancashire, England in late June of that year.[6]

Cyril was killed in 1942 while serving in the US Merchant Marine. His ship, the Oakmar, was torpedoed by the German submarine U-71. [7]
