https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7F4-N1Y  Might be Alexander Henry born Ireland, lived in Manchester in 1861 Census.

Where in the USA did Alexander arrive and where in USA did he settle?

Do you have the name of his wife, marriage year and location and also, death year and location at that time?
