Notes
The Parish Council website (see References) is the source of the extra information and carries this biographical detail: 'Alexander Smith Mackenzie was born in Grimsby on the 19th October 1879. In 1891, aged 11 he was living at 160 Tasburgh Street in Grimsby with his parents Robert (37) a Fish Salesman and Mary Mackenzie (32) and his brother Robert aged 8.
In 1901 the Mackenzie family were living at 144 Hainton Avenue, Grimsby, Robert and his sons Alexander and Robert in the fish trade. Sadly Alexander’s father Robert Mackenzie died in 1905 and in 1911 his widow Mary and her two children Alexander now 32 and Robert 28 were now living at 82 Fairbrother Street in Grimsby, both sons working as Shipping Clerks.
On the 8th August 1915 when Alexander was 36 he married Letitia Mabel Edmundson. Alexander Smith Mackenzie enlisted in the Royal Marine Light Infantry on the 26th April 1917 and died on the 19th December 1918 and is buried at the Russian Orthodox Cemetery, Sebastopol, Crimea, South Russia.
We can only assume that he came to live in Great Coates after 1911, before joining the army in 1914.'
