Alexander Hope

[Kerry Reimer]

I am looking for information on Alexander Hope, born ~1859. He was married in Londonderry to Esther Smythe Kyle. He later immigrated to Montreal. He is my great-great grandfather and I would love to find more information about, like who his parents were and did he have siblings.

Having his father's name may help in the search

edited to add
also remember that his address at the time he married may not indicate where he was originally from

 :)Thank-you. I found his marriage but not his father's name. It's been keeping me up at night.

Hope isn't a common Derry name so he could have come from outside the area.
