  • Re: Alfred John Alexander-Where are you?

    Ages ago i asked for help to find my Alfred John Alexander without any luck [see below] However after a lot of searching i have found his acutal birth date which is...29th Jan 1865,...YAY!!!! however i still can't find him BOO!!!....There is one birth for around that month but that was in Winchester Hampshire......After checking the family on the 1871 the father had died & shows mum Julia, i checked the 1861 census before Alfred was born & the father shown is George...So now i am really stumped!!! Has Alfred lied about his father's name if so why name his son Alfred Thomas????
    Thanks,
    Kaz.



    Hi All.
    My 3x Great Uncle is a bit of a mystery......
    He was born Middlesex/ London around 1866,his father was Thomas Alexander
    I have everything on Alfred from 1881 onwards & also including his marriage in Cardiff to Jane Ellen [nee Tremlett] Ramson.
    I can't find Alfred or his family on the 1871 census..........
    Can anyone find him?
    Thanks,
    Kaz.

    Don't know if I'm being stupid but what are you actually looking for? The 1871 census for Alfred?

    What are the details for the census where you found Julia please?

        Hi Elaine.
        The source was his railway employment at Newport in 1891.........Unless he lied on that ?

                Presume you have found Thomas (father) on the marriage certificate - any occupation listed for him?
                Do witnesses help at all?

                            I have so many liars in my tree nothing surprises me now. Who was the informant on his death cert ? as they obviously did not know his date of birth .

                                  This is really confusing, as IF I'm following the right Alfred and Jane he's a seaman but you say in #1 he worked for the railway. Ancestry is playing silly beggars with me tonight and keeps asking me to sign up for a free trial, I have worldwide subscription which expires June 2013!!! Anyhow, it's frustrating me so I'll leave your search hoping Ancestry behaves itself tomorrow. Pleas can you give some census ref's for the couple.

                                    What do you know about Jane before she married Alfred? Is she the Jane Ellen born Bristol circa 1859 with parents Thomas and Mary?
