ALEXANDER CROCKET DRAINIE LOSSIEMOUTH

[jrocket]

LOOKING FOR INFO ABOUT ALEXANDER CROCKET BORN 1872 IN DRAINIE AND WHO WENT TO LIVE IN LONDON. I THINK HE HAD SON JAMES.

Did Alexander have any other names, few and far between in London records, not showing up 1901 either

Hi jrocket

1891 census he was 18, living with parents (James Crocket & Jane (nee Wood) at 2 Brander Street, Drainie.  Occupation Cooper

1901 census he was 28, living with wife Jessie at 7 Kirkbrae, Fraserburgh.  Occupation Cooper.

Perhaps you could check the 1911 census to see if he and Jessie moved to London?

Apart from census the only Jessie I can find is a death1952, bearing in mind census shows Jessie's birth year as 1874  death 1952 is for  a Jessie K Crocket aged 80 in Leeds, this MAY be your Jessie, birth 1872 ??

Did Alexander marry an Isabella?

If so he is on the 1911 census, Croydon.

That's the only Alexander Crockett, b 1872, in England & Wales!

I do not know wife's name but know they had children and one of the son's was called James who lived in Greenwich in the 1990's.

Could this be James?

Death - July 1997 Greenwich
James William Crockett
born 19 May 1910

Can't readily see a birth..so he may have been born in Scotland

Yes I think it was him. Thanks
