Lorraine, I do have some info on Alexander, he married Florence Ramsey in 1925, they had 7 children. I got started on this a month ago, I knew the family from my grandfather down but none of his siblings and their families etc. I recently re-conected with Robinson James' greatgrandson (same name as me)(we're both in Canada). It's slowly coming together, thanks for the info
