He used Alexander rather than Leander in life in the Army and RIC. He may have reverted to Leaner (see obit at the end)
1891 Sep 9/ Jan 24 Born Tullyboy Co Cavan. As Leander William McCabe( RIC have 1894). The birth registration is odd, in that it only seems to have been registered in Jul 1892, and if it had been born 24 Jan 1891, then he should have been 10 in 11901 census, not 9. I think Sep 9, the date date in RIC is correct.
1901 census at Tullyboy. None of the McCabe births seem in GRO. I think he is the Leander WA McCabe here
