Alice Rachel De Ste Croix of St Helier
« on: Monday 16 August 10 16:56 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have this lady on their family tree? She married Alexander Findlay of Morayshire, Scotland, in St Helier on 3rd January 1863 when she was 27 and Alexander was 58. He'd already been married. Their four children (Alice, William, Philip, and James) all were born in Nairn, Moray and they were living there in 1871. Between then and 1880, when Alexander died, they moved to Dollar, Clackmannanshire, where the children went to school at Dollar Academy. Alexander died there and is buried in the churchyard. I haven't been able to trace his wife's death, and I wondered if she had returned to Jersey when she was widowed.  I'm particularly interested in what happened to Philip. There's a handsome stained glass window in the Episcopal Church in Dollar  presented by James in memory of Philip in 1909 but so far the only things which have emerged from the church records are that James was 'the Reverend James Findlay of Ireland' and that Philip is said to hvae died in Africa.

If anyone can shed any light on any of this family I'd be very grateful.

Thank you
Hannah
