Forwarding this to the list on Molly's behalf and adding this to the hunt. ----- Original Message ----- From: BONKERSDOG@aol.com To: ruthrath@fleming.org Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:52 AM Subject: Re: [FLEMING] Alex Fleming, b.abt 1851 England, died Boston, MA Nov 1879 I thought I'd join in on the fun. Susan was listed as a widow in the 1851 census. The MA vital records shows Alexander died 2 Nov 1879, Boston. Died of acute phthisis. Lived at 49 Pinckney, was a clerk, born England. Father was listed as Alexander. Susan M Fleming, 37, dressmaker, born Nova Scotia, is in the 1870 Boston census with Alex, 19, clerk in office, born England. In 1860 Susan Fleming, 34, seamstress, born Brit. Prov. and Alexander, 10, born Brit. Prov., are living with the James Lowe family in Boston. James was born in England. In the MA vitals I found a Susan (Marks) Fleming, widow 46 years old, born Nova Scotia , ?Ship Hauton?, lived at 96 Leverett St., Boston. Died 6 Sep 1873, cancer of womb. Widow of Matthew. I don't find a marriage. So, is his father Alexander or Matthew? Was his father a Fleming? We may never know but I enjoyed the hunt. Molly
