Alexander Keith
« on: Wednesday 09 May 18 00:49 BST (UK) »
Hello! First time post on here so please excuse the over the top enthusiasm. I am hoping someone on here might have some information on my great great uncle, the aforementioned  Alexander Keith.
Alexander was born in Brough, Caithness on the 29th of July 1891 to Angus Keith and his wife Jane (nee Bruce), and passed away on the 7th October 1975.
During the course of his life Alexander emigrated til Australia and raised a family in Nyngan, New South Wales with his wife Esther Stephenson. They had 3 sons and 5 daughters so far as I know.
If anyone has any information on Alexander or his family it would be lovely to hear from you. Thanks for reading this!

Cheers.
