Re: joseph william alexander born 1893 doncaster

thanks mike &shera joseph alexander in 1911 was still living with his mother in 37 holmes cotages doncaster he then moved back to birmingham with the francis family(His Mother and his step family) in 1912 the first recod of them at sheep street was 1919. So i need to try and find them around 1912 to 1919 where we now know they lived in sheep street. Thanks to you both again
 
Re: joseph william alexander born 1893 doncaster

There was a Joseph William Alexander at 35 Braithwaite road in 1912. Of course then women were not included in the roll. He is the only entry.
