Alexander George Wilkie is on Geni with 2 wives

Wife 1 - married 1885 - Charlotte Anne Wilkie with children between 1885 and 1894 (all sourced)

Wife 2 - married 1892 - Ann(Annie) Ophelia Meiklejohn Wilkie with children born between 1893 and 1906 (all sourced)

With these dates he was married and having children with both women at the same time - it is more likely that these are 2 different Alexander WILKIE's

Can anyone add any information on these families?
