Where is the birth of Alexander John McDonald?

He married in 1877 so something is very wrong.

Is that the right death for Alexander John who married in 1877 ?

Marriage in 1877 then had Donald in 1878... Ellie's post has death for a Alexander in 1921 so followed that....

Not easy Val.

I'm stuck. Have not found a death for Flora yet. Or a birth for Alexander or a death for Alexander and Lizzie.

Birth 1879/C01006 McDonald Flora Ann - Alexander John - Lizzie Nicholls

Gap - have not looked in other states yet.

Birth 1890/C04538 McDonald Leslie Cecil - Alexander John - Lizzie Nicholls

Thanks Val.

If it is the 1923 one then there is a daughter who married a JAMES but I can't find that marriage so far - Mrs W F ... her initials or his?

Marriage 23 Mar 1910/B8631 Cathleen Elizabeth McDonald - Willie Francis James

Now need her birth and death. Can't find either.
