Notes - Alexander Cuthbert, a harness maker and bailiff for the 3rd District court at Dresden, Kent County, moved to Dresden in 1873 from Glencoe, Ontario. He was born in Elginshire, Scotland (present-day Morayshire) near the village of Forres (note: not "Forrest"), near the north-east coast of Scotland. Alexander emigrated from Scotland in 1856 with his mother and father. The family first settled in London, Ontario where Alexander's mother, Margerie, died in 1865 at 33 years of age. Alexander and his father then moved to Glencoe, and in 1873 (or 74) to Dresden where they finally settled. Alexander would have been 13 years old when his mother died. Alexander studied leather working like his father and grandfather. Initially he apprenticed as a harness maker but he also took up shoe-making as harnesses became less in demand.
By 1916 the family appears to have moved to Walkerville, according to son Charles' WWI recruiting document.
