That's what I want to know?

Alexander was the planter & died in 1801
I have a copy of a will of Alexander it only names his
cousins in it, so who is Alexander's Father, I am
trying all sites.

Does the will mention his age?

As his cousin as mentioned , I presume Alexander had no wife?

Any idea when he emigrated to Jamaica?

1)    No age on Will
2)   6 cousins mentioned in Will, David in the list above
       is living & working in Jamacia a Cooper by trade.
3)  Yes he has a wife Ann, I think she is his 2nd wife,
    he mentions his daughter then his wifes daughter.
4)  He died about 1800/01 he made some money
      so he must have been there few years.

Hi
I am researching the Shirras/ Shirreffs family in the North East and came across this marriage entry which may help.

Aberdeen December 5th 1748
Saturday last were privately contracted in order to marriage David Shirras wright and Jane Lunan. Cautioner James Shirras maltster and John Lunan glazier. Paid for the benefit of the poor £6.

Hope it helps.

Hi

I have an Elizabeth Sheriffs 1757/61-1841/51 that married a William Milne c1786. Don't know much about her but I believe the name Shirras comes into it somewhere as well.
