Most kind.

Thank you very much Safc.

David there are also 4 closed records at the same address.

Curiously, after Louisa's entry in red pen has been added 'see page 20'.

Thank you AustinQ

From the information given on the 1939 Register, i now know that this is not the Ernest Alfred Alexander i was searching for.

I think this is the one:

Birth:
First name(s) ERNEST ALFRED
Last name ALEXANDER
Birth year 1886
Birth quarter 2
District KINGSTON
County Surrey
Volume 2A Page 344
------------------------------------------------

In 1911 the family were living in Hampshire:

Ernest marries in 1917:

ALEXANDER Ernest A Garnett Alverstoke 2b 986
Garnett Caroline M Alexander Alverstoke 2b 986
-------------------------------

1939 Register:
Alexander Household 59 Mayfield Road , Southampton C.B., Hampshire, England

David Alexander 29 Sept 1861 Locomotive Driver (retired) Married
Ernest Alexander 03 May 1886 Male General Labourer Married
Caroline (M G) Alexander 08 Aug 1893 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
Freda Whitmarsh (Alexander) 09 Jul 1920 Female Canteen Waitress Single


On David Alexander's entry first it stated 'W' for widowed, but this was crossed out and replaced with 'M' for married.

Well I never!

You have figured it out for me AustinQ without me even having to ask.

Yes, that is the family I am researching. I am thrilled to discover they had four children.

Thank you, very much appreciated.

I can't seem to find a death for Ernest.

I also can't find a birth or death for Caroline.

I have found her on the 1901 census (Parents George and Mary) but not in 1911.

Death for Caroline:

First name(s) CAROLINE MARY G
Last name ALEXANDER
Gender Female
Birth day 8
Birth month 8
Birth year 1893
Death quarter 3
Death year 1984
District SOUTHAMPTON
Register number 884
County Hampshire
Volume 20 Page 1069

Did wonder about this birth, I know wrong surname, but a maybe. (Perhaps born out of wedlock?) Don't have time to follow it up at the moment- will try and look later.

First name(s) CAROLINE MARY G
Last name COUSINS
Birth year 1893
Birth quarter 3
District ALVERSTOKE
County Hampshire
Country England
Volume 2B Page 553

Thanks AustinQ

On the 1901 census, there is a Joseph G Cousens born Gosport Hampshire, so I think that birth is probably correct.


Births Jun 1886 (>99%)
COUSINS Joseph George Alverstoke 2b 670

Edit: The son John George Garnett's birth was also registered under the surname of Cousins.


Births Mar 1892 (>99%)
Cousins John George G Alverstoke 2b 528

I gather the parents didn't marry. Although they state on the 1911 census they had been married 20 years.



I just have a to pop out but I will get back to you in a short while.

I have given up on the death of Ernest. Nothing seems to fit.

Thank you again AustinQ, you have been a great help.

Sorry David, I don't see a death for Ernest either.

In case somebody else can spot something, David is looking for he death of:

Ernest Alfred Alexander born 3rd May 1886

In 1939 he was living in Southampton and just listed as Ernest (no middle name)

Norman George Alexander
Birth Date: 1 Oct 1918
Date of Registration: Jun 1971
Age at Death: 52
Registration district: Southampton
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 6b
Page: 1857



Sheila M Alexander
Birth Date: abt 1923
Date of Registration: Jun 1923
Age at Death: 0
Registration district: South Stoneham
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 2c
Page: 106

Youngest daughter married a Matthews and there's a couple of possibles for her on the Hampshire ERs. Might be worth contacting her as she would know when her father died. Be tactful though.

I am on the case thank you Rootgatherer.

Their place of residence is about 5 miles from where I live. :-)

If you manage to solve the mystery of when and where Ernest died come back and let us know please. Good luck :-)

Will do.

Thank you.

I am sure that this is totally unconnected but I still keep looking at it so will post just in case:


Name: Ernest Alexander
Gender: Male
Age: 50
Birth Date: abt 1885
Departure Date: 3 Aug 1935
Port of Departure: Southampton, England
Destination Port: Montreal, Canada
Ship Name: Alaunia
Search Ship Database: Search for the Alaunia in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Shipping line: Cunard White Star Limited
Master: E J Rodgers
Last address: 34 Lavender Gardens, Dalston E8............ Fireman.

I know he was on the 1939 census but perhaps he came back and then went out again ??

I could put more to try to justify it but I think it would be a waste of time.............

Best of luck with your efforts to find his descendants - I look forward to seeing how you get on.
