I believe Alexander also had another son, Robert, before his marriage to Mary Ann. I have a photograph of him taken with Robert, Alec (b 1905) and Robert's son, Alexander Robert (b 1917). 

The daughter Minnie on the 1901 census was his stepdaughter, Minnie Hargraves. I have some more information if you want to get in touch.

I tried to send you a PM but it seems I am unable to do so. Alexanders son Robert married Grace (Steel) who is the link to my tree.

I do have that book, well my brother has it. I found it on ebay a few months ago and told my brother about it so he bought it. Found a few things in the book but not much. I have'nt been able to find too much on his family, only the info that was given to me by CaroleW. Its hard when I live in the United States.
