1911 Canadian Census Henry Alexander Jr.


1911 Canadian Census Henry Alexander Jr.
Originally uploaded by Miranda Hine

In the 1911 Canadian Census I found a record of a family of four Alexanders living in Shawnigan, British Columbia.The handwriting is very difficult to read and I believe the transcriber made a number of errors. I think this record is of Henry Alexandr (63) living with his wife Ellen M. and two of their children, Mabel and Donald. The document says they immigrated in 1910 The transcriber listed Ellen M. married to Mary Alexander. I doubt same sex marriage was an option in those days! Donald is listed as ???Irene, but is a male!.
