If these are the correct parents, your Alexander may have gone to the US..

Michigan, Death Records, 1867-1950
Name: Alexander McPhee
Widowed
Birth Date: 27 Oct 1854
Birth Place: Scotland
Death Date: 23 Jun 1933
Death Place: Lansing, Ingham, Michigan, USA
File Number: 009508
Parents = John McPhee & Jessie Cummings

Cert. has occ = shoemaker, in the business for 25 years. So that is feasible given the timescale.

Possibly not him in the US, the 1910 census says he emigrated in 1872 and you have him in Scotland in 1881. Will leave it there for now.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Parents - John McPhee & Janet Stewart.

So, married between 1881 and 1891.

Naming pattern seems to rule both out.

Dave

 

[horse]

Thanks, Dave... Yeah, and the 1881 census discounts any emigration thoughts

He will remain a bit of a mystery.

No birth/baptism found and I won't be spending credits on those deaths even if I had them - 2 credits left.

I was looking because he was the informant for his father's death. Older sister Catherine is the connection to my tree.

This may be his bap..

Thanks Geoff.

That would fit and worth getting also being 1855.

Death 1905 McPHEE JANET [STEWART] 84 Kilmallie 520/ 22

That's one death I'll get next time I have credits.

Her parents should be Allan Stewart & Jane/Jean.

Can't find a marriage for an Allan Stewart/Stuart.

[DaveHam9]

Lots of marriages for an Allan Stewart but none in Argyll.

Jane/Jean born in Duror so marriage if in her parish should still be in Argyll.

Children born Duror.

Can't see a baptism for son Duncan.
