Hi. I was wondering if I could have some help with something.
Hugh Alexander died on March 1st 1890 aged 64, but first of all, people on ancestry have his birth date as May 14th 1816, making him 73, but I can also find no records for a Hugh Alexander born between 1816 and 1826 with the same parents that are listed on his death certificate. The census seems to estimate his birth around about the 1816 mark. A little more info on Hugh, he married Jane/Jean McWilliam in 1844, and she died in 1904. They had 9 children, James (1844-1910), Annie (1846-1892), Jane (1849-1924), William (1850-1925), Agnes (1852-1921), John (1855-1930), Hugh (1857-1920), George (1859-1936) and Margaret (1861-1880).
Hugh was the son of Hugh Alexander, Coal Miner, and Jane Campbell.
Some people claim that he is Hugh Montgomery Alexander, son of John Alexander and Jean McDowall, however I heavily doubt this is my Hugh.
I'm looking for information on his parents, and when he was actually born.
