I am liking the dublin marriage to one of: Edith Margaret Reeves, Elizabeth Matilda MacAdam, Anne Morrow, Maria Duffy. I have a Dublin rootschat: Information appreciated for Fox/Shelly & Shelly/Whitty families. There are 14 pages and a few posting have discussed Adam Alexander.

Thanks,
Alleson

Yes, but as I have the GRO marriage cert from Jan 1919 for Alice Fox and Adam Alexander and their Catholic marriage record of Aug 1919, I think the Dec 1914 marriage notation is a fib for the army for some reason or other.

Thanks

I finally realized that this ASC MT soldier transferred to Z class August 2, 1919 and the other number 21347 is the AFZ service number.

PS: Alice was 121 Richmond Row on her GRO marriage. And Margaret not Maggie was the 15 year old in the said records.

Maggie was married Aug 23, 1919 and from then belonged to the Church of England. Did not have a Catholic wedding as Alice. I wonder if the sisters were even in touch. On Maggie's Ocean arrival she lists the nearest relative from country from which you came as Mrs. E Stewart sister,  122 Tunnell Rd. this was her sister in law. Why not mention Alice Alexander? Also listed herself as b. in  Liverpool and Religion C of E. This was March 25, 1922 traveling to join husband in Mooose Jaw Sask.

TARA, I just opened up and saw the posts. You are hilarious asking questions and then answering them all...giggle. I will also try:
1. Married at Register office Jan 16, 1919: Alice was single, Mineral Water Bottler, Foreman for Coal Dealer and Adam was bachelor, Private 416929, 49 Stafford Street. Father John was a Farmer.  They were also married in the Catholic Church Aug 1, 1919.  He 110 Soho St and she 110 Soho St. Joannis et Mariae Alexander and Michaelis et Margaritae Fox. Looks like he was gone in Jan 1919 and I suspect to get married. I saw the disability form but stated no disability.
2. Adam and Alice in Manitoba were living in Canada in 1904 so not them.
3. I ordered the birth cert for David Fox from Steyling [sic] with the caveat of Adam and Alice Fox as parents and nothing. So I didn't purchase.
4. Maggie [Margaret] was a hotel waitress at 14 Scourfield st. Nicholas Fox deceased. Master Mariner and Keith Stewart Stationary Engine Driver 28 Crown St, Father: Leveson Douglas Stewart deceased Civil Engineer. Margaret married well, as this family is a collateral branch of the 6th Earl of Galloway.   
5. Yes Dathai, got the birth cert, but I never saw. I remember he said Nicholas was a porter.
6. I love addresses and long ago I made a table with all addresses and put people under these, which is how I came to my first conclusion that Alicia, Catherine, and Alice were sisters. 17 Gloucester or Glouchester brings great results.
7. I was loving findmypast and didn't mind at all when my 14 day went to annual until I tried to look at a 1939 record and got peed, so I cancelled. I will get the subscription again but hope it goes on special before Christmas.
8. I was thinking of Maggie at 15 stealing a coat et al. and you are right I didn't find any other prison records.
9. Thanks for the uplift on Nicholas. In fact, Dathai first pointed me to his death at Glasnevin and I discounted as said was married... But after getting dozens of burial records and many with Nicholas Fox as informant, I thought he was so responsible. I contacted Glasnevin and asked about Nicholas Fox and if he was informant on all these family graves where is he and they said they made an error and he was that person and in the same family grave.

Thanks thanks thanks!!...
