That would make his year of birth 1883. There is no David Alexander listed born in 1883 in Renfrewshire. However, there are 6 David Alexanders born in Renfrewshire between 1875 and 1884 (see attached). I have checked these out and none list the correct parents names. I can find no marriage for a David Alexander and Jeannie Ingram any where in Scotland between 1855 and 1908. There were only 2 marriages between and Alexander and an Ingram in Scotland in that time (see below)...these are unlikely. There were only 4 marriages of a Jean Ingram in Scotland between 1855 and 1865, (unlikely to be after that date) (see attached). The witnesse's to David and Janet provided no leads....looks like her brother (Tom Anderson) and another (Annie Davidson). It may be that David and Jeannie were married outside Scotland and David Jr was born outside Scotland. It's possible that Jeannie Ingram was David Jr's mother but that his father remarried, hence your Mary. Good luck. Frank Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
