Where is the census record from? Looks like Stranrer [Stranraer?], Ireland
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

It only gives Ireland as the place in the 1861 census, and he had died by 1871. This seems to be the only record with more to go on.

Strabane? I also thought Straide in Mayo. First 3 letters look to me like Str. Next might be letter a.
