Alexander Mair was born in August 1881.1,2 He was the son of William Mair and Jane Mair. His family was known by the tee-name of "Saucy". Alexander Mair was a fisherman. He was a member of the crew of the Zulu fishing boat 'Evangeline' (BF 1952) and appears in crew photographs. However, he was not in the crew for the fateful Orkney fishing of January 1905 because of an argument with his stepfather, 'Evangeline' skipper David Wood “King”, over his playing of the melodeon. His place was taken by a young lad from Cullen, George Findlay.2 He died in August 1941.1
