• Notes

  Looks like Alexander is working for his cousin (another Alexander Menzies) in the 1841 census. On 1851 census at Croftnamnik, Dull, Weem, Perthshire, Scotland listed as cousin to head of house (another Alexander Menzies) and widower aged 53 (born 1798). See death record on ScotlandsPeople 25/10/1868 Lunatic Pauper and Widower aged about 73 years - this could be him!! This is not the correct person. Have found this Alexander Menzies living as a pauper with Donald McGregor and family in Dull village. Death registration is made by Donald McGregor. On 1841 census at Croftnamuir as single household I think the link between this Alexander and the farmer Alexander is that this Alexander has a sister called Mary who married the farmer Alexander Listed on male heads of families for Dull parish in 1836 (NRS Reference: CH2/1383/9 pp. 36-52) as a labourer at Croftnamuick (also possibly listed in previous years), but does not seem to be listed for 1837-1839. This is not our Alexander Menzies (son of James Menzies and Chatherine Menzies) as he had a younger brother Alexander probably indicating that he died early
