I had an idea that I had posted a query about Alexander before but couldn't find it din't realise that it was that long ago.

Don't think that Amelia Johanna Anderson was connected with him.

He had relatives in Detroit but maybe did not meet up. Charles Littlejohn and his wife Maria Lynch, and  three daughters and son moved from Ontario into Michigan. They are all buried in a family grave in Mount Olivet  Cemetery. Charles died in 1902.

The thing that puzzles me is if Alexander, had a wife & children why would they not inherit from his estate. How did my aunts know when he died and who contacted them to put in a claim from his estate.

If Alexander was the divorced male in 1930 Michigan, then perhaps he would have no contact with wife and or child/children.

There is an age difference between Charles Littlejohn 6 April 1838 - 1906 (parents Father:   
Alexander Littlejohn - Mother Mary Walker) and Alexander Littlejohn born 1877. What is the connection ?
