Hi Janet
I've got a copy of the 1881 Census on CD.
It says Alexander was Married and that the One-year old child was born in
Edinburgh.
It can be very hard to read some of the original writing on Census records.
The mistake in Alexander's age and Owens/Ovens names may be due to
illegibilty or the census taker made a mistake.

Here is a copy of the details.
Dwelling: 73 Pleasance
Census Place: Edinburgh St Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Scotland
