Many thanks for taking the time to search out this information.It is great to see all the details on the census form, and the marriage record. Hoping to hear from any family still living in Strathmore.I really appreciate it.
My husband has only one remaining uncle who is quite elderly,he is Alexander`s nephew.It would be nice if any one could let me know a little more about the Strathmore family.
Thanks again
Evelyn
