Notes for Alexander POLLOCK
Alexander not Robert! In 1851 Elizabeth Lockhart was a servant in the household of Alexander Pollock. Elizabeth gave birth to a daughter Elizabeth circa 1855 and this daughter with surname Pollock was living with her father Alexander according to the 1861 census. This suggests that the name Robert, as recorded on Elizabeth Pollock’s marriage to Thomas McBride, is incorrect and it should be Alexander and this is supported by the Death record of Elizabeth McBride which states she was illegitimate.
Notes for Jean (Spouse 2)
can’t find her in 1861 cesus or thereafter
Notes for Alexander & Isabella (Family)
Haven’t found sufficient information to confirm, abosutely that Alexander had a third wife Isabella but will leave this information intact until proven otherwise. If I could find his death record this might be confirmed!
There was also another Isabella Wilson (Calder) who married an Alexander Pollock but that Alexander’s death record only mentions one marraige so this probably is unrelated.
