The following website gives some information on the boat owned by Alexander in Massett.

Gail Kay-Ship details
www.nauticapedia.ca/Query/Shiplist4.php?&name=Gail%20Kay&id-10416

Looks like he named the boat after his daughters

I am hoping to find some more info from another source so will pass it on when I receive it.

I get an error message for that link  :-\

Perhaps you need to do the search from the home page?

Looks good Rosie...

The one I looked at had address as Old Mill Lane, is it the same or a different one?

Looks like he was single then?

I can't get back in to FindMyPast to finish what I was reading  ::)

Thanks CB53 for previous link......helps a lot.

We love asking questions which have already been answered & then denied.

I do not know his wife's name

From original thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=382314.0

"I have no details of his daughters but his wife's first name was Elizabeth::)

An exact date of birth for Alexander would help narrow down a passenger list record for him and knowing when he came to Canada. When you say he came to Can at a young age are do you mean as a child or as say a teen.  Goodness never knew there were so many records for a Alexander Taylor!!!.

Wonder if he went some where else in Canada before settling in BC.
Not finding any vital statistics  record in BC for Elizabeth.

Another piece of vital information would be DOB for the two daughters.
