===========================
What is the source of the Birth Date and location for Alexander; and for his Marriage to Mary?
It is nearly always useful if that additional information is provided.
===========================
Given his Birth Year, it clearly before Statutory Registration starting in 1855, so would appear to be from a Baptismal record; or from his own understnding.
