Need surname of informant

Post by Dennis » Fri Feb 06, 2015 7:32 pm

Hi.
I've uploaded a section of the 1920 death record of Alexander Lennox. Filename: http://talkingscot.com/gallery/albums/u ... nnoxDR.jpg

I cannot make out the surname of the informant, tho I'm quite sure its not his son Alexander Lennox who died in 1888 age 11 months. His daughter, Margaret Lennox married an Alexander T Denholm in 1898; could that fit?

Hi Dennis,

It looks like Alexander Lennox to me. I see there was a second Alexander Lennox born to this couple, born a few years after the 1888 death of the first Alexander. His birth was registered in the same registration district as the death of his older brother.

All the best,

AndrewP

Searched the 1901 census for Alexander Lennox born in Milton; 4 results (aged 15, 45,5 & 0) but none to the couple of the earlier child.

Hi Dennis,

The birth certificate is there - 1896 - Milton, Glasgow - same parents as on the 1888 death certificate.

All the best,

Hi AndrewP. It took me to view the 1911 census where I saw him aged 15 as Alexander Patrick Kerr Lennox. Many thanks
