According to a tree on Ancestry Alexander's wife was Maria Honoria Scott born 1847 in Sunwick, Ireland. Stated to have died 1908 in NSW, Australia.

Hi
Thanks for the replies. With Cecil Dos Remedios who was born in 1915 in Shanghai, his birth cert lists his parents as Incencio J Dos remedios and Francis MAry Lawrence. Dad Incencio was also born in Maccau China but we are stumped with Frances Mary Lawrence.
Have looked at some of the overseas births and marriages but no luck
Cheers
