Rachel Frances Oliver (b. 1940) believes the birth date was 19 June 1909.
Dax Eric Clayton Lloyd, (great-grandson of Jessie Bertha Oliver b.1876) confirms Rachel’s date for birth, and writes Alexander’s, “death registration has this about his birth:

“You have his death as being 20 Jun 1985, but here is his burial record;

The accompanying picture of his headstone has his
death as 10 Jun 1984. As you can see there is over a year's difference. I also note that he is buried in the RSA section, however nothing shows up in the Auckland Cenotaph database for him (N.Z.A.F)”.
