2. | Alexander Smeaton (1.Robert1) was born in 1899; died on 1 Jan 1900 in East Taieri, Otago, New Zealand; was buried on 1 Jan 1900 in East Taieri, Otago, New Zealand. Other Events:
- _UID: 5CA03A4335F04728A77944EACE9A0C5928D5
Notes:
Died in infancy.
He was supposedly the youngest child, according to "The Aitkens of Mosgiel" but could not have been as he died in 1900. As no age was recorded on his burial I am assuming he was born in 1899/1900.
