COMLETE MANY THANKS Robert Alexander did he make his fortune?
« on: Thursday 09 December 10 18:42 GMT (UK) »
Robert Alexander was born Liberton near Edinburgh Scotland  1915 and left in the mid 1930's to make his fortune in America.
I remember his death being discussed a while back but can't remember where and when he died?
Would  appreciate any help .
Thanks

Hello Suzilad,

Seasons Greetings to you.  Who were the parents ? Was he Robert Love Alexander ?
Father Robert L Alexander. Fairview. Davidsons Main. Edinburgh.  ???
Or Robert Alexander born 20 July 1915 Midlothian. Scotland - Parents George Alexander and Annie Allan (only mention that one because we did some Allan family earlier  ??? )


Regards
Sandra

Can you get an exact birth date or a rough idea of his death date?  There are 34 Robert Alexanders born in 1915 on the Social Security Death Index.

Hi Sandra,
                 Seasons Greetings Hope you are well.                                                                                                                    Haven't got the father for some reason but mother was Annie Allan King but he was born Ellens Glen Liberton but must be some connection as his brother and sister were born in Davidsons Mains in 1908 and 1911

Seaso

Hi Suzilad,

Yes, fine thank you - treated to beautiful lunch and more retail therapy.  ;)

It looks as if the couple had one son and 1 daughter.
