Helen,
I have just found your response.You are a jewel, this is EXACTLY what I needed!Interesting that Elizabeth does not show as deceased on Alexander's marriage registration.Since you seem to be following this family, Alexander and his bride, Margaret Dick (mar Polmont, Stirlingshire 12 Jun 1857 per mar registration at ScotlandsPeople) emigrated almost immediately to the US and settled in Tuolumne Co., California -- southern end of the California gold fields.Alexander died there in Nov 1870 and is bur at the local cemetery.Margaret married 2/William Priest and lived into the early years of the 20th century.The family still lives on the original Kirkwood land, now known as Priest Ranch.---Bonnie Stevens
