Hi Monica
No not directly, I believe he's the uncle one of my grandmothers, I'm hoping to tie down which of his siblings married into my family who are all from Berkshire apart from my great grandmothers family who were Norfolk farmers.  One branch of which came from Ayrshire.  It's proving very hard to find thoiugh.
Regards

Tom

HI David
That would be very interesting as we have a very long standing interest in Maj. Basil Alves and have never been able to tie him into the family despite have his royal commission paper which someone has written a note on, probably in the early 20th century.

Don't be too hopeful. A 'testament dative' means that he did not leave a will, so it isn't likely to tell you very much about his family.
