His death record on FreeBMD says he was 70 in Sep 1891. So... DOB 1812 or 1821?

1841 Census: ULVA      Ardskipinish Gometra

It looks as if the father Alexander is deceased by 1841 census, but that detail not included on Neil's marriage.

1851 census Gribun, Mull - Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon
Dorothy MacIntyre 72 born Ross  - Tenant 500 Arable 20 Ac Hill Pasture
Robert MacIntyre 34 son born Ulva
Cathrine MacIntyre 23 daughter-in-law born Kilninian
Dorothy MacIntyre 2 grand-daughter born Gribun
Alexander MacIntyre 1 mth grand-son born Gribun



A number of the children, including the sons Alexander and Robert, and daughter Flora, went to Canada. All three appear to end up in the same Grey County, Ontario - surely not a coincidence. It is possible they travelled together, or soon after each other,  arriving in Canada between 1852 and 1855. Flora died there in 1855.

I'm not sure Alexander was Neil's brother. According to some census records in England (still waiting for Smudger's confirmation) his place of birth shows as Glasgow, Lanark.

Alexander McIntyre (Farmer)
His marriage as a widower in 1873 Grey, Ontario, names his parents as Alexander and Dorothea.

According to Smudgers...

" I also think that he had a brother called Alexander. I can't be 100% but on 1841 census Neil is living in what looks like a hostel in church street Sunderland maybe he had just arrived. There is also an Alexander Mcintyre living there. a few days before Neil Joins the local police force, Alexander Joins, I think that they must be brothers but could be cousins."

Yes PatLac - I have read the thread.  I have seen the census records.
Alexander McIntyre is an extremely common Scottish name.
