• Notes

  PRIVATE «b»1841 Scotland Census«/b» gives 13 yr old Alexander's occupation as " Stationer Ap[prentice] " and he cannot be found in later Scotland Census records. In 1841 he was living at home in Maule Street, Arbroath with his parents and siblings: Helen Lundie born abt 1812, James Lundie born abt 1814, Margaret Lundie born abt 1818, Ann Lundie born abt 1824, George Lundie born abt 1831. «tab» I could find no further record for Alexander Lundie: no census records, no death record either. Sadly this explains the situation: Arbroath: «i»On Monday evening, a young man of the name of Lundie, son of Mr John Lundie, teacher Maule Street put a period to his existance by cutting his throat with a razor. The young man has been in a desponding state of mind for some time past.«/i» Aberdeen Journal (Aberdeen Scotland) Wed May 23, 1849; Issue 5289 Newly release death records show that Alex Lundie, bookbinder, of St Vigeans was buried in row 16 "laid before David Lundie" in Arbroath Abbey.
