Alexander Campbell Herriot

[dbray220]

Could anyone help find any information about Alexander Campbell Herriot (1891 census born Kikmuir. 1901 census born England) born about 1871(unable to find birth)
He married Christina Katie Rintoul Milne born 1872 in Kent, England, on 2 Mar 1894(place unknown) I think his parents were George Herriot and Catherine Campbell (unable to find any information).
I have been told Alexander and Christina had 5 children, William b1894, Eliza b1898, James b1899, Alexander b1903 and Thomas Noble M b1913.
Any information about his parents also place of birth and marriage would be gratefully received

You need to look at Scotlands People.

Alexander Herriot married Christina Katie Milne in Scoonie, Fife in 1894. This should give parents names.

The family are in Scoonie in the 1901 census. 3 children were born there.

William

Added: The family can be located in Buckhaven, Fife in 1911 and 1921 ( in 1911 the index records him with his initials A C. These census entries should clarify his birthplace).

You appear to have him in 1891 which shows him as the stepson of William McKean & his mother as Catherine so have you looked for him on the 1871/1881 censuses?

The same family is at the same address in 1851 census.
