hello, My great grandfather Alexander MacPHEE is found on the on the 1891 UK Census (Northumberland) and noted as having been born in Refrewshire circa 1854. This is the only notation I have found as to where in Scotland he could have been born. Alexander MacPHEE noted his father also as Alexander MacPHEE (deceased), profession 'surfaceman' on his marriage to Mary Elizabeth HILL on Feb 5, 1886 in Tynemouth. Hugh MacPHEE (a brother?) witnessed the marriage. The younger Alexander MacPhee and Mary Elizabeth HILL had at least 6 children born in Northumberland: Alexander b. 1887, John b. 1889, Jane b. 1891, Norman b. 1892, Hugh Hill b. 1895 and Cecil b. 1897. I have found the younger Alex. in the 1881 & 1901 Census in Northumberland, both times noted as a 'pawnbroker', born in Scotland. Any help in finding this birth would be most appreciated. Jackie
