Alexander married Clara Higgins in Moncton, New Brunswick.
He and his brother William went to New York, and were engaged in the building trade. Their company got into financial trouble, and the two were said to have left New York around 1898, leaving a complex web of loans and mortgages behind. There were rumours that Alexander had gone to Boston - his wife and daughter did not know for certain - or that the brothers had returned to Canada. William did return to PEI, but Alexander did not.
Before that, in 1895, Alexander transferred property to his wife Clara: Alexander- Waldron to Clara C Waldron.
In 1900, Clara was living with her two daughters, Myrtle and Lillian, in Brooklyn. In 1910, she said she was widowed. However, when Alexander's mother died in October 1910, the obituary said she was survived by 5 sons.
Clara went to live with her daughter in Michigan, where she died. Unable to find any further trace of Alexander.
