Printer and bookseller. He was born on 21 Nov. 1802 at Elgin, Moray, to Alexander Brander, a shoemaker, and Jean (Philp) Brander. He seems always to have lived in Elgin but little else is known about his life. Census records show him as living at 52 High Street in Elgin. In 1861 he is identified as a master printer. The 1891 Census shows him as retired and married to Hannah Swan Walker (b South Leith 31 Aug. 1845); they had one child who was 7 in 1891. No marriage or death record has been located. Moray local history resources give a death date of 17 Sept. 1893. (SBTI 17 Apr. 2019; ancestry.co.uk 17 Apr. 2019, 24 July 2025) SR
