Alexander Smith Orkney Census 1821
« on: Friday 29 December 06 10:21 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to fiind the parents of Alexander Smith in the Walter Rosie household on Burray. Benjamin Smith Cooper is also in the household. Benjamin later married Margaret Allan, following children Margaret b 1823, Rachel, Jean/Jane, Elizabeth, John Allan, May, Catherine, Marjorie, and Janet Weir Smith born 1842.

Benjamin's father was Alexander Smith of Watten Caithness. Is the Alexander on the census aged 1 years Benjamin's son? Any information at all would be great as I can't find a birth for Alexander Smith about 1820 anywhere!!!! Angry

Here's hoping
