*these are the only 2 childrens births I could find.
Birth of Alexander's father Robert;
Robert Cross

two other children found to James & Isabella;
James Cross
baptised:10 Oct 1790
address:Liffey St,Dublin
parents:James Cross & Isabella Cross
Bridget Cross
baptised:19 November 1780
parents:James Cross & Isabella Cross
Robert,James & Bridget were all of St Mary's parish,Dublin which was COI (Church of Ireland)
Robert's father James Cross was buried 22 August 1807 from St James parish,Dublin. It was also COI.
I wonder if Alexander's father and mother may have left Dublin as I can find no trace of them but there are a couple of possibilities in Scotland.
to be continued. Kim
