Hi again Ruth, I had initially answered on the other thread, but for completeness I'll post it here too: I had a search through the records, google etc and can't really find anything concrete for you. No deaths in Scotland match the dates you have for a couple of those names. I suspect it is a favou...

The original Poster carolann hasn't been active for a few years, but hopefully ...

[TS_welcome] Jeanette, That's a tricky one to try and resolve. You have lots of little clues, but nothing concrete enough to really help in a search. As you mentioned 2 surnames, I thought perhaps one may his mother's maiden name so searched all of Scotland for a birth of an Ale* Brown Mother's name...
