Hi, i was looking for information for Alexander Pendleton, family search.org/ark:/61903/1:1QPPX-B9FH.

If i'm correct i think i know where he was born,date of birth and take this line back,is there any members looking for info on him?

thanks Sandy Gardiner.

Re Searching

@alexandergardiner Just trying to help anyone who tries to follow this up. The text you have entered has suffered from digital tribulation (finger trouble). It should be https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPPX-B9FH

It is possible that this is the same person as LRHJ-VBB, but the contributor has added no sources, so it is not possible to use this with absolute certainty. Nevertheless there is sufficient evidence contained in other sources to confidently attach Marion Barr LRSY-ZMZ to the census record and then add Sandy as spouse**, and work from there.

[Edit: ** error - see subsequent comments]

Hi, Sorry i,m not good with these computer things, or how to get around the workings of family search, but yes i would agree his mother being marion barr, but i rekon he was born in scotland.

thanks sandy.

Re Searching

@alexandergardiner Whoops! Yes quite right, Marion Barr was his mother not spouse. My mistake... and you said you weren't good with computers. Apparently I am the same.

As you say, Scotland. There is evidence that suggests he might have been the same person who appears as Alexander Cunningham Somerville, born in Scotland just before his father died, and then soon after, widowed mother and child emigrated with her parents and her sister to Canada.

If there are other researchers who want to follow this up, then they should have enough to start them off.

If you look at the records for Marion Barr https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LRSY-ZMZ

.. you'll be able to see the other researchers who have contributed to the tree. If you want to share your information about Sandy with them, you could send a message explaining your findings.
