Where'd he go?

Post by Dennis » Thu Aug 19, 2010 6:11 pm

Hi:)

I was looking at the 1920 dc for an Alexander Lennox age 64 in Milton and the informant is noted as his son Alexander Lennox. I found the birth record for the son LENNOX, ALEXANDER (Statutory Births 644/08 0355) born 1887. However, I cannot find him on any census for 1891 or 1901 but his siblings are on the census.

Hi Dennis,

Looks like they had another Alexander around 1896 so it looks like the first one died. There is a likely death registered in 1888 at Milton.

1901 Milton

Alexander Lennox 45
Caroline Lennox 44
Caroline Lennox 19
John Lennox 16
Isabella Lennox 8
Alexander Lennox 5

Regards,
Annette

Hi Dennis

I read the 1901 census district as Anderston, not Milton.

The younger Alexander is Alexander Patrick Kerr LENNOX !

Have you picked up on Alexander's brother John, also a baker? There are Milton records referring to John incl. the 1894 death of Alexander Gilbert LENNOX.

Later edit.

Ignore the comment re Anderston, - it is Milton.
