Any information on Alexander would be greatly appreciated please. Thanks Jackie

Jackie...The details AOGG has listed re Alex.(Bushmills) may be a connection as I have found details of Thomas McFaul and he came from Bushmills ( providing it is the same one)...died 29 Sept.1918. Thomas was the son of Campbell and Esther McFaul...his obit does not however mention a Wife..!!
