February 23rd

On this day, February 23rd, we have one birth - and somewhat close to home.  Alexander Ironside Ingram was born in York (now part of Toronto), Ontario in 1906.  Alexander is your 2nd cousin 2x removed.  The common ancestor is your 3xgreat grandfather, George Donald.  George is Alexander's grandfather.

Alexander was a first generation Canadian.  His parents, Jane Ironside and John Ingram, came from Aberdeenshire.  I believe he was their only child and he didn't have his mum very long.  She died when he was three.
