To help family make the connection I did a bit of a search. In the 1851 English census there's a 13 month old Alexander Fleming with his mother Susan Fleming visiting William & Elizabeth Masham, a ropemaker and their children at Gillingham, Kent(Medway RD) Susan is described as a 25 year old widow born Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia Alexander is her 13 month old son born Brompton in Kent. I couldn't find either in another census. There doesn't appear to be a marriage for Susan in England that 'fits'. Alexander appears to be in the GRO birth index 1851 Q1 Medway RD 5/412 (Parish registers for Medway Registration District (RD) are online at (http://cityark.medway.gov.uk ) The 1871 census has another Alexander Fleming s/o Henry Fleming 20yrs and born Leadgate, Durham. He doesn't appear to be in the GRO birth index. but he is in the 1881 & 1891 census still in Durham.
