Memorial inscription -

Morf, I've got excited about your Alexanders before!

My great-grandfather was a Joseph Alexander, but born in Lancashire. However, his father and grandfather, both Charles Alexander, were born in the south.

The younger was born in Lambourn, Berkshire.
I believe the elder was Charles Alexander Alexander and was born in Marlborough, Wiltshire in 1796/7.

I wonder if we have a connection way back in time?

I hope so Elizabeth.
Trouble is, I've not been able to find out much about Joseph's parents.
