NOTES: Alexander is my great grandfather, the oldest child of Andrew Donogh, and half brother to the rest of them. He married Eliza Ann Hill in Mount Forest, and their 2 oldest children were born there. Eliza was born in Strathroy, Ontario on January 25th, 1855, the daughter of Robert Hill and Hannah.

In 1882, they decided to move to Manitoba. A year later, they moved further west, to Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan for 5 years before returning to Manitoba to farm in the Huntington District. Eliza died in 1902, after several years of suffering. She had TB and Hodgkins disease.

In 1903 Alexander married Elizabeth Halladay, who predeceased him in 1915. Elizabeth was born about 1858. Her parents were Thomas Halladay and Margaret Jackson. Margaret Jackson's sister was Jane Jackson (Andrew Donogh's second wife).
