The record indicates Gilbert came to US in 1898, no information regarding Elizabeth's arrival. The 1920 record indicates Gilbert came to US in 1895 and was naturalized in 1908. Gilbert's occupation was listed as manager of a mail order house. Elizabeth indicated in 1920 she did not know when she came to US. The 1900 census did not find an Elizabeth Walker born in Scotland abt 1879 in the US Federal census. The 1900 census shows a Gilbert Alexander in Brooklyn, Kings Co, NY, born Scotland. He is listed as single and residing in household of Frederick Beers who had several borders. Gilbert's occupation listed as commercial traveler and came to US in 1894. I checked the Ellis Island records online and found a Gilbert Alexander whose place of residence is listed as Chicago, IL. who had been abroad and was returning to the states. The date was July 23, 1923, age 48 and arrived on the SS Leviathan that left the port of Southampton on the 13 of July, 1923. The manifest indicates that this Gilbert had been naturalized in the circuit court of Cook County in 1905 and his address listed as c/o Sears and Roebuck. You can view this record for free...www.ellisisland.org. Death certificates often have the names of parents listed on them. I would suggest that would be the place to start in trying to identify the parents of this couple.
