1 Letter to the Family

By: James David Coates Sugar Land, Texas - May 2005

To all of the Alexander family ancestors this document is a special gift to all. I would like to share my research to date. I began accumulating information when my children had family tree projects in elementary school. Unfortunately many years have past and until just recently I again was asked about our heritage. Well not knowing enough about our past and having limited personal references I felt the need to find out just where did we come from?

I hope you will take the time to not just read about the Alexander’s but to embrace your heritage. In our fast paced lives we have forgotten about the inner-fiber that we are woven from. Those generations before us have endured the toughest of times and in the world that we live in today we cannot even begin to comprehend how they managed to survive. I realize that as every generation passes it will be harder and harder to look back, however as additional data becomes available our children can continue digging deeper into our history which will certainly enrich their lives.

The information I have assembled came from our family members, friends, The Quarrier Children’s Orphanage, Databases on the Internet - Scotland vital records http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ , Canada Genealogy http://www.collectionscanada.ca./archivianet/020110_e.html , the United States Census records though our public library system. Many dates and descriptions listed on these archives, and census records have been the method to verify and to form leads for additional research. As you study the content of these documents you will see how they tie together when, where and why everyone fits into our family tree.

Fortunately the resources that are on the Internet today have allowed me to obtain documents that would have been completely un-obtainable just 10 years ago without spending thousands of dollars and probably hundreds of hours researching old papers and public archived records. The agencies and government documents that I managed to obtain would have never happened if it had to be done manually in my lifetime, and the sad truth is our heritage would have been erased. Other than my time I have spent less than $100 obtaining these documents. I know that would please our ancestors knowing how poor they once were.

I have provided the story of the Quarrier Home Children as a reference so that we may understand where Alexander children they were raised along with maps to give us an idea where they were born and died in Scotland. Records for births, deaths and, marriages are priceless. It giving us the ages and parents of each family allowing us to spread our research out even farther then you could have expected.

Consider this document a basis for you own journey into Genealogy. As you read and research on your own you can add your information to the notes section of this document and when any of us find additional data please forward it to me and I will continue to update our family tree in a PAF Personal Ancestry File filed with the LDS http://www.familysearch.org noting your contribution.

2 Alexander Family History

The Alexander family roots go well back to the 1600’ in Ireland and 1880’s in Scotland, however my detailed research has only reached back to about 1855 to the Township: Holestone, County: Antrim, Country: Ireland where Andrew Alexander and his wife Eliza Picken had a small farm. They may have had several children however Paul Logan Alexander was born 1854 is our direct line and where my research is focused. Paul would be 5 generations deep by 2005.

Paul Logan Alexander 1st of 3 marriages was to Agnes Sarah Wilson the daughter of David Wilson and Mary Todd. They were married January 20, 1873 in the town of: Carrickfergus in the county of Antrium, in the country of Ireland. They had 2 sons Andrew Alexander September 9, 1873 and John Alexander December 14, 1874. I have not found a record for the death of Agnes Sarah; however they were only married a few years before Paul was widowed.

Paul Logan Alexander 2nd of 3 marriages was to Mary Margaret Graham. They were married May 18, 1877 in the town of Nandulstown, Drummal in the county of Antrium in the country of Ireland. There was 1 daughter Eliza Alexander March 2, 1878. I have not found a record for the death of Mary Margaret; however they were only married also a few years before Paul was widowed again.

Paul Logan Alexander and his 3 children left Ireland for unknown reasons and came to Scotland to the town of Old Monkland / Coatbridge in Lanark County. He is now listed in all of the official Scottish documents as Alexander Paul Alexander. Paul then married his 3rd Wife Euphemia McInnes. They were married on March 8^th, 1887 in the town of Coatbridge / Old Monkland, in the county of Lanark, in the country of Scotland. Euphemia was the daughter of Robert and Margaret McInnes (which is listed on her death record but her marriage record lists William McInnes and Agnes Downie). At the time of their marriage the parents from both sides were already deceased. They began their family of 6 children: Agnes Barbour 1888, Sarah Stewart 1890, and Mary Eliza 1892, Twin boys William Murray, and Paul 1894, and Janet Murray 1896.

Paul worked as a labor in the coal mines, a railway porter, a stableman, and margarine maker at Neil’s bakery in Glasgow. Euphemia did not have a work record. They lived in Coatbridge and Glasgow until their father Alexander Paul died of alcohol poisoning due to excessive drinking in October 8, 1897 at age 43 and then their mother Euphemia passed away 5 months later in February 23, 1898 of heart disease at age 41. The children without adult care were referred to the Quarrier Home Children Association by a local clergyman after the families of the first two marriages would not take them in.

During the 1800’s Scotland was a developing industrialized country that changed the demographics of its citizens. Many country peasants and farmers moved to larger villages or cities to find work in the factories, mines, etc. Unfortunately a lot of these people lived in deplorable ghetto conditions, some starving and many developing communicable health issues. Many of these people suffered terribly at the hand of the wealthy. They were forced to work long hard hours and many had to have their children exploited as workers in the textile mills and coal mines. Eventually the government made laws to protect the children. The counties, townships, or shires that they lived were required to provide suitable living conditions for the children. The laws provided an avenue for the local government officials to take control of orphans and extreme poverty cases from their parents and put them into facilities to protect, educate, or institutionalize.

Five of the Alexander children were put into this system, and it turned out to be a blessing for them. They were sent to the Quarrier home orphanage in the Bridge of Weir where they were cared for, and educated. They were residence of the orphanage between 7 to 9 years they were sent to Canada during the home children program to populate Canada. Their brother William died at age 6 and is buried in the Bridge of Weir cemetery. The other brother Paul died at age 2 prior to this event.

Each has a unique story and I have created a chapter honoring each of them. You will see how they grew into adulthood to had their own families. They all continued giving back to society and to the generations they have preceded. We are blessed to be a part of their heritage.

5 History of the Quarrier Children

The facility named after William Quarrier, a Scottish businessman who himself, as a young child experienced extreme poverty, dedicated his life to improving conditions for all those needing help. Starting by providing young street-boys with shoe shine kits, which funding had to be repaid, he eventually raised money throughout Scotland to build a village where children in need could be housed in conditions close to a home environment. Each cottage housed up to thirty children under the care of a "father and mother". Children were taught self-reliance and were well educated in the village school.

From 1870 to 1936 the Orphan Homes of Scotland founded by William Quarrier participated in the British child relocation program sent more than 7,000 young people to Canada where they were employed, as farm laborers, domestic servants or factory labors.

Records of transport for the Alexander children as they were all immigrated to Canada.

Agnes, Sarah, Janet and Mary Alexander are listed on the Canadian register. This means that there is some family background information in the relevant history book.

From a microfilm that we have at our Genealogical library I did find four Alexander children who came out in 1905 and 1906. They all sailed on the S.S. Corintian but at three different voyages.

CHILD APPRENTICES in America From Christ's Hospital, London, 1617-1778. By Peter W. Coldham.

CHILDREN OF THE EMPIRE, Gillian Wagner, London, Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 1982

Christ’s Hospital, (not a hospital in the contemporary sense) was established in 1553 for the benefit of orphaned children or those made homeless by impecunious parents. If they were legitimate children of free men of the City of London, over four years of age and free from obvious infirmity, they were to be educated and prepared either for entrance to a university or apprenticeship to a trade. From the late 17th century, up to 150 children were admitted annually to "Bluecoat School" on recommendation of their parishes, and a further ninety or so under the terms of charitable endowments. But as early as 1617 large numbers of these scholars took "articles" and left England to serve apprenticeships in America. Beginning with those children apprenticed to the Virginia Company in 1617, about 1,000 Christ’s Hospital students left England to take up such apprenticeships. The "Children's Registers" are housed in the manuscript department of the London Guildhall, and it is from these that Mr. Coldham has extracted data on child emigrants. The entries are in chronological order and in a slightly abbreviated form. Given are the name of the child, his date of birth or baptism, date of admission, native parish, the name and occupation of his father, date of discharge, the name of the person to whom he was apprenticed, and the place in America where he was to serve his apprenticeship. This is the first time all of this information has been made available to the genealogist. 164 pp., indexed. Balto., 1990.CAT #218-1114
