Donaldina Manson married William McMath Sturrock

One of the other deaths in the Kirkcaldy area with mmn Alexander is Robert Rose Manson born c 1915 died 2009 Kirkcaldy. Looks like he may be a product of the marriage of Robert Rose Manson and Agnes Cairns Alexander who married in Carnwath in 1910. They are also possible parents of Donaldina and Janet Alexander Manson.

However given the names of the two girls I think there would there would have to be a link between Donald and Robert Rose Manson (Who looks to have been born Thurso) . My money is still on Donald Manson and Janet Alexander being the parents.

Robert Rose Manson Sr births looks to be born in 1888 Thurso there is also a brother Domald born abt 1879 Caithness in the 1891 census living in Calder West  with their family on Family Search

i'm going to see my grandad tomorrow (donaldina son) and ask him if she had any other siblings

[Wendy2305]

One last thing Robert Rose Manson Sr and Donald Manson's parents appear to be John dunnet Manson and Barbara Campbell
John born 1856 Olrig  Caithness and died 1916 Wemyss
Barbara born 1858 Thurso and died 1941 Wemyss

I think Janet Alexander b 1881 and Agnes Cairns Alexander b 1889 were sisters. Probably children of John Alexander and Catherine Philp married in Cupar in 1877.

Two brothers marrying two sisters?

Two brothers marrying two sisters?

Would explain the double births and my parents did that my dads brother married my mums sister

But then again Robert Rose Manson and Agnes Alexander might have named their twin daughters after their respective brother and sister.
