Researcher's Note* 
On his death record, Alexander's parents are listed as Alexander Valentine and Margaret Greig. He was 58 years old. His wife was Ann Travers who died prior to Alexander. The signature of qualified informant is his daughter, Joanna Valentine. He died of aortic aneurysm (6 months). Alexander was a Seaman with the Merchant Service. He was living at Wesley House, Ponderlaw St., Arbroath, Scotland

I wonder if Alexander Valentine is actually the son of John Valentine, possibly adopted by Alexander and Margaret Valentine?
