Thanks for your reply, so that gives me the confirmation that as I thought James Alexander was from the Alexander family from Braddan. Then Elizabeth must have been from the Parish of Maughold? Not been able to link her as yet to any Bridson family. I know they had their children in Braddan but was only surmising that he was from there originally and son of Hugh Alexander and Joney Kermode. (Their first son was named Hugh - my gtx4 Grandfather)
If I could check the parish register and discover the witness names this may just be a clue I have been looking for! May also give me a link to correct Bridson family.
Thanks again,
Sandra
