Post by: bettina53 on Tuesday 10 October 17 22:43 BST (UK)

Am trying to find a reference to Alexander Moore, known as Tiger Flowers, born in Ballykelly 17 Feb 1894, and died 24 Jun 1953 in Termeil Dungiven.  Was married to Elizabeth Madden.

Great!  Thank you so much.  Any ideas as to why he got the nickname "Tiger Flowers"?
