I have found on the 1911 census an ELLA ALEXANDER 18 yr stay with her aunt Mary Alexander at 1 Omagh rd Dromore,there is another neice Raby that we have ID,but Ella is a mystery as she is from AMERICA.
Ella had 3 uncles that went to USA Henry to cincinatti & had 7 sons,Fleming to NY & hadConnie,Walter,Francis &Virginia,the last uncle Skelton to NY & only had a daughter Kathleen.
so were does Ella come from?Any ideas
There was a half brother Thomas(Half brother to Flemming,Skelton,& Henry) that was in USA could he be the father?

There's an Ella Alexander, born c1893 arriving in Londonderry, Ireland in 1896- also in same year are Thomas Alexander and Mr. S. Alexander but I can't tell if they were even on the same boat. You mentioned half-brother Thomas Alexander- have you been able to trace him in U.S.?
Added note: see later posts for 1903 passenger list

Could this be the family?
1 Oct.1903 "Mongolian" arrived New York from Londonderry, Ireland
Mrs. S. Alexander 75? [hard to decipher, could be 45?]
Master Tom Alexander 11y 6mo schoolboy
Miss Ella Alexander 9y 6mo schoolgirl
all U.S. citizens from Dromore going to Scranton, Penn.?
Looks like Ella returning to U.S. after 1911 census-
2 Oct.1911 "Caledonia" arrived New York from Londonderry, Ireland

Hi,
To add to Aghadowey's list.
Children of Thomas Alexander and Sarah Jane Houston who were married on 26 Jul 1853 in Ballynahatty Presbyterian Church, Dromore District, Omagh, Co Tyrone:-
Anne 6 Jun 1864 Dromore, Sarah Jane 25 Jun 1866 Dromore, Skelton 28 Jun 1868 Dromore, Henry 17 Apr. 1870 Dromore, Rebecca 9 Jun 1873 Co. Tyrone and Francis16 Feb 1876 Co. Tyrone.
As civil registration of births did not start until 1864 I would assume that there were earlier births.
Regards

Hi,
A little more from the Wills search at PRONI.
Thomas Alexander, merchant, of Dromore died 10 Jan 1889 and probate was granted to his widow, Sarah Jane Alexander. He was a comparatively wealthy man leaving over £3248.
John Houston Alexander, Clerk of Petty Sessions, of Beech Park, Dromore died 17 Jun 1914 and probate was granted to his widow Margaret. They appear to have been married in Dromore Church of Ireland on 10 Jan 1895 and her maiden name was Woods.
Regards
