Thank you for posting that info anyway Jacqueline. I got all excited for a minute! :-D

Thank you Gritty..........I will check that out.

Ooops, I don't have a subscription with FMP.

Edit: Found it on Ancestry.

I've sent the Merchant seaman card just in case it's any use- I don't know if you could identify him by his photo?

Thank you very much Gritty.

I have replied to your PM.

Just spotted that there is an Ernest Alfred Alexander born in 1884 though! :-|

Oooops no.........he was Ernest Arthur Alexander.

Hu Jude, Gins and Margee.

Sorry, had to pop off for a while.

Yes that is him with his parents in 1911.

Prickles - how do you know the 1928 marriage is not him?

I find "him" in the Surrey electoral rolls with wife Louisa (Strugnell) in the late 20' through 30's and at one stage (before Louisa) there is an Amy Paul. I can't find a marriage between Amy Weeks and a Paul but there is a Percival R Paul mmn Alexander born 1927 in Southampton

Jude

Oh, just give a bit of time Jude and I will get back to you on that one.

A neighbour has popped in..........wont be long.

No worries...both the daughters (and one fiance here today) so - fingers crossed BBQ shortly :-)

Jude

Ok.......this is what I researched after I spotted that Alexander/Strugnell marriage.
