No marriage found nor any children identified

On Oct 7th 1916 he arrived in New York the the ship “St Paul” from Liverpool and gave this information:

Name:                Campbell, Alexander Drummond
Age:                 59
Sex:                 M
Married or Single:   S
Occupation:          Planter
Nationality:         British
Race:                Scotch
Last Residence:      England, Stanmore
Next of kin/Friend:  A G Campbell, ‘Culverlands’, Stanmore, Middlesex

The age of 59 was around three months wrong.  I think it was him.

On 26 May 1923 he passed through Vancouver, BC and stated:

Name:          Campbell, Alexander D
Birth Place:   Croydon England
Age:           65
Sex:           M
M/S/W:         S
Occupation:    Tourist
Race:          Scot
Nationality:   India
Residence:     Mareara, India
(illegible)
Height:        6ft

The Croydon birth is enough!  It was him.  The age was right too.
_____________________

The following death in New Zealand is thought to be him:

Registration                                  Date of Birth/
Number        Family Name      Given Name(s)  Age at Death    

1933/19586    Campbell         Alexander D    75Y

The age is spot on, which gives some hope it could be him.
It would cost £25 to merely get a printed copy of a death certificate.  So not done.
