Alexander Alexander born 1822 - Banffshire (BAN, County, Scotland)
This lad joined the Coldstream Guards in Aberdeen in 1844, married a Catherine Evans in London, and was discharged honourably in 1866 after surviving the Crimea and Canada. I'd like to find his parents and ancestry. He was employed as a gardener on join-up. Is there an Out House Durrclee in the area? There is an AA in 1841 at that address, but aged 13..... Thank you, Ivy
