Thank you both for the information. Meantime I have been trying to find information on the workhouse in Stranorlar I will now try public hospital.
I found that the workhouse had a burial ground and if it still was running in 1932 perhaps Alexander could be buried there with an unmarked grave I would expect or maybe the site has been built over with the new hospital.
I could not access any records that listed the people who lived in the workhouse, i have found that some do.
At the end of the day I do not know if the Alexander who died in Stranorlar is the one that I am looking for though his age and death date indicate that it could be him. Also the lack of parents on the death certificate wold also indicate that it could be him as he left Scotland on his own to work in Ireland on a farm. I imagine that if he fell from a tree as family memory says perhaps the epilepsy was the result of a head injury. I will keep on searching. Again any advice gratefully received. Mirrin
