    Notes:

    (Research):Alexander Munroe Pulford has been quite a mystery.

    1861 and 1871 Censuses of Canada- living with his mom and dad and family in Gosfield, Canada.

    1881 Census of Canada - living with his wife and children in Windsor. Working as a clerk.

    There are several voting records and city directories that list him living in Detroit and Windsor during this time.

    1901 - I haven't found him. His wife Ruth Ashby is listed as married but she is living with adult children in Windsor, Ontario.
    From Findagrave: added by Andre Pulford
    1903 Harriet McDonald Pulford's Obituary "six children survive?. A. M. Pulford of Idaho"

    1910 US Federal Census - A Monroe Pulford b. 1858 in Missouri, living in McHenry North Dakota. Working as a "servant" says mother/father were from Scotland.

    1915 North Dakota State Census - Monroe Pulford in Carrington

    1920 Monroe Pulford b. abt 1859 Missouri, "patient" in a hospital in Illinois. Father/Mother born Canada.

    1930 U.S Federal Census- Alex Pulford b. abt 1858 Missouri, single, occupation: inmate Oak Forest infirmary. Bremen, Cook, Illinois.

    15 Jun 1931 -Alexander Pulford - Bremen, Cook, Illinois, United States - Oak Forest Infirmary- male 82 single white -sailor b.1849 birthplace-unknown, burial 23 jun 1931-cemetery "central plant".

    Ruth is buried in Windsor. As far as records go the single American wanderer Monroe Pulford doesn't exist before 1910 and the married Canadian father of five doesn't exist after around 1900. His dad died in 1899 and then his mom died in 1903. I'm think that he left his wife and family around 1900 after his dad died. He travelled around and then died an infirmed indigent in Chicago.
