jeez, thats a lot of records! 

Okay...so there may still be another Alexander McMinn out there hiding in some dark corner :)

I can't wait for the MC to come through now...hopefully it will be quicker than the English GRO for me...

Yep, the MC could answer a lot of questions although given the period, not sure how much MCs contained in 1846 ?

It would be nice to see a Regiment in the RA for Alexander but maybe that's a Santa's wish list item  ;D

Have given in a bit, and have ordered MC for Matilda McMinn in Woolwich in 1874, and birth cert for Alexander Philip McMinn in 1876 in Gravesend.

We;ll see what light that sheds. :)

Until then, am going to give this a rest a bit, and go back to my other branches, which need some attention :)

Just another dot joined, in the puzzle.

Guess who was informant no.1 on Elizabeth McMinn's bptism records?

George Patrick.  Would he then have been her godfather?

Things tying up nicely now :)

Ahem... rest.... others need attention  ;)

Do you mean sponsor? I don't think it would be an informant at a baptism?
