  9. The understatement of the ages of Alexander's daughters Harriet and Ellen on his passport application, on the 1880 census, and on the ship's passenger list was clearly deliberate, albeit the numbers of years understated were inconsistent. It may be surmised that the intent was to improve the daughters' marriage prospects.
