Rommina and John
Good morning and greetings from New Zealand.
I have never heard previously that my Alexander Miller completed any military service. Our records to date is that he was born on 01.04.1829 the son of Peter Miller and Mary White in the Parish of Stirling. There was three other siblings James, Helen and Mary all baptised in 1833.
Now with regard James Bryce and Janet (Jessie) Miller I have never located a marriage certificate. Her marriage is recorded on her Death Certificate in 1933 here in New Zealand as married in Wishaw, Scotland at age of 20 years.
James and Jessie Bryce had two children in Scotland, Margaret in 1872 and Alexander in 1875. Both children died at sea when the family emigrated to New Zealand aboard the vessel Aldergrove which arrived at Port Chalmers, Otago on July 25th 1875.
They are my great grand parents.
There is another post active on "Deciphering and Reconigition Help" where I put up the 1871 Census for Alexander Miller to establish the names of the Parish and Village. Overnight it shows that in the 1901 Census Alexander Miller was in the New Monkland Poorhouse , New Monkland Lanarkshire.
I shall have to close either one or the other post or combine both.
Much appreciate your interest and help.
Thank you
Alex G
