Alexander Love

For three years from 1888 an Alexander Love featured in the Pawtucket Free Rovers team. Initially it was at centre-half, then the following season first at right- and then at left-back as the team reached the third round  of the American Cup, there still the following year and in defeat in the same competition's first round, but in the same team as Sandy Jeffrey. And, whilst there are a couple of candidates, it is thought that he might have arrived in America as a nineteen or twenty-year old, born in Scotland but it is not known where, and live out his life in the Rhode Island town, dying of in 1932 at the age of about sixty-six and curiously of drowning.   

In the meantime in 1897 he, his parents recorded as James and Jane but so far also untraceable, married Emily Bowyer. She had arrived from England in 1863 and they would have two children, he finding work, again like Jeffrey, as a Machinist, latterly in a steel shop. And she would outlive him by a decade and a half dying, still in Pawtucket, in 1949 at a little short of ninety to be buried with her husband and mother and father in the same local Moshassuck Cemetery as Jeffrey once more.
