| Note | Per Familysearch database Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950 Alexander Spark Christening date 02 May 1823 Christening place Swinton and Simprin, Berwick, Scotland Birth date 31 Mar 1823 Parents William Spark and Isabella Lindsay The Oxford County Libraries provides an index of the Directory of Oxford, 1857-1858. This shows Alexander Sparks on lot 18 of the 4th concession of Blenheim. (His father William is shown as being on the 10th lot of the 3rd concession.) A problem with this information is that for the abstract images available, Alexander Sparks' presence is not shown on this lot. James and Helen appear in the 1861 census in Blenheim Township. They have four children with them, along with a James Sparks, age 13, who is attending school and is probably Alexander's nephew. |
